To Propane
FOUND by Jina H. in Louisville, KY
My mother found this at her job years ago at the hospital.

Looks like the writing of a schizophrenic... loose associations all over. Interesting!

Astounding!!

And God hung up.

About the propane... I'm not sure if the author is 'for' or 'against'.... I think it would be a great time to convert to vegetarianism.

Ummm.... I think I can guess what 'wing' of the hospital this came from...?

These days it's hard to tell the difference between the ramblngs of a schizophrenic and the notes of an aspiring stand-up comic!

"Oh, Beatrice, you're too cursed! Will you into hell, then?"
"No, but to the gate. And out will come the Devil, like an old cuckold with horns on his head, and say, Get you to heaven, Beatrice, get you to heaven. Here's no place for you maids. So away to St. Peter--He shows me where the bachelors sit. And there sit we, as merry as the day is long!"

Well, I could have writ it, but the little lady was OK in the steak dept., if you get my drift. Rudyard K.

Am I going to burn in hell for finding this so funny?

"My WIFE ... cook HIS steaks ..."??? Who is cooking for whom here? Is the writer's wife having an affair? Is she cooking (just not on propane) for the Lord or the devil? Is "my wife" a guy??

And, perhaps even more interestingly, WHICH President Bush is getting evicted from Hell by the devil? And why?

So little gas. So many questions.

This is what happens when Hank Hill has a psychotic break.

@Emily: Doesn't have to be schizophrenic necessarily; it bears a striking resemblance to some of the things I've written when manic, always with the self-assurance that the novel ideas contained therein are a creation of profound genius.

@Baby Basil: I don't believe it's controversial to say that the Queen Mab speech from Romeo and Juliet is obviously the work of someone mentally disturbed.

@Duncan: I think it's safe to say that Mercutio is perhaps the angriest character Shakespeare ever created. Certainly the greatest misfit. Anger and madness are closely allied, as witness the modern use of the word "mad" to mean "angry" when a mere century ago it meant "insane".

But of course I quoted from another play....

@Duncan, you helped me understand some of what my ex goes through. Too bad some manics are mean.

Hank Hill originally found this note tucked under the windshield wiper of his truck. He surmised it was the rantings of one Dale Gribble, after being (accidently?) exposed to industrial grade ant and roach killer. It fell from his back pocket while visiting Peggy in the hospital after her feet reduction surgery. He forgot all about it, as he had bigger problems; Bobby had taken the lead role in the Tom Landry Middle School production of "Hair".

Did Mom work at the Psych ward at the hospital?

I love the Queen Mab speech, it's my favorite part of Romeo and Juliet, mostly because I felt that Mercutio was the coolest character in the whole play.

wholly in corrigible
It says the offering was by fire, remember the animal was provided by God, for it was given in proportion to His provision, but the fire was also from God being originally kindled by Him. It was an aroma pleasing to the Lord. The symbolism or typology of the ceremony sets forth Christ offering himself without defect to God in performing the divine will with Joy, even to the point of death. In the offering the note of penalty is not conspicuous (Heb.9:11-14, 10:5-7)....


I simply cannot find any mention of propane at all. Profane, perhaps, but not propane.

This is best read very loudly and with flecks of foam around your mouth. Be sure to add "in a van down by the river" at the end.
