Wretches

They threw me to the dogs, the wretches!

Sadly, some of us are wretches and have to suffer eternally.

But remember: The 1907 crowd in their bowler hats and petticoat dresses had no computers, no air conditioners, no passenger airplanes, no microwave ovens, no television sets, no polio vaccine. And how those poor wretches scraped a life together without credit cards and electric guitars, we'll never know.
