...to the vet with no legs that Drummer feeds the quarters to, one per lap while he's trying to keep his head from exploding. I have heard people say thank God I'm not __________. (Fill in the blank.) Well, should the guy with no legs thank God that he didn't also lose his arms or get a shell fragment through his skull? What's God's excuse? Did the devil make him do it? If you're going to give God credit for the favors, you gotta also hold Him/Her responsible for the shitty end of the stick. Read Drummer's "Reflections" story again and ask yourself how the ants felt about the way of things. Or maybe Drummer could just ask the legless vet.
