Mildred, 93, was particularly despondent over the recent death
of her husband, Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and
join him in death.

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she
Took out Earl's old army pistol and made the decision to shoot
herself in the heart, since it was so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and
burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to
just
exactly where the heart would be on a woman.

The doctor said, "Your heart would be just below your left breast."

Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a
Gunshot wound to her knee.
