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

He decided to deal with the problem by printing the following notice in the paper. "If you find an error, please understand it is there for a purpose.
"We try to publish something for everyone, and some people are always looking for something to criticize."
