Dedication

After the Battle

The officer standing in the center of this group of Union soldiers after the battle of Antietam is Lt. Alonzo Cushing, who died less than a year after this group portrait while fighting in Gettysburg during Pickett’s Charge.

Sitting at left is Evan Thomas, who was killed in ambush by the Modoc Indians a decade later in California.

As they say, you must suffer to be beautiful.

I, myself, have killed 6 people. All random, no way to trace them to me. Let me tell you, there’s nothin’ like it. It’s a great feeling. Yeah, I know, you’re thinking, Aw, he’s a comedian. He’s just sayin’ that stuff. Good. That’s exactly what I want you to think.

There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.
