Mildred was a 93 year old lady who was very 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 Earls old army pistol and made a decision to shoot herself in the heart, seeing as it was so badly broken.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden on someone,she called the Dr to ask as to just exactly where the heart was in a woman. The Dr said: " Your heart is just below your left breast."

Later that night Mildred was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound to he left knee.
