Ya want mercy? Well, I don't think ya deserve any, but it aint really up to me. As the great delta bluesman, R. L. Burnside, done said, that there one time, and all:
Quote:
"I didn't mean to kill nobody. I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head and two times in the chest. Him dying was between him and the Lord."
Burnside killed a man at a dice game, was convicted of murder and incarcerated in Parchman farm in 1955. Before he died, his victim's last words were: "Lawd have mercy." You're probably gunna git what he got, ya know?

Please don't start posting pictures of unearthed giant human skeletons next.
So, then, I asked that sukka: "Why should I believe you're really God?"
He said: "Ya can believe what ya wanna, boy, but if you care about your immortal soul...."
I said: "Ha! Now I know ya aint God. If ya was, ya would know I done sold my soul to the devil for four bits when I was fixin to go see Side-door Sally. But, then again, if you are God, you could probably get me out of that deal, eh!?"
He said: "A deal's a deal. Later, chump."
The damn fraud! Wasn't omnipotent or nuthin.
I had to admit, though, I was kinda a chump. If he coulda got me outta that deal, I woulda demanded a whole dollar, next time.
But of course, frank. I'm not just a pretty scowling face, ya know.
