A 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her
husband, 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 his old Army pistol and made
the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was badly broken anyway.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to
someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire 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.
