Humorous Suggestions

A year ago there were 15 of us ex-stews in Fargo. Number 16, upon completion of hospitalization for his last drunk--that is--nervous breakdown--asked a 12th Stepper to pay for his coffee. Because, he said, all he had to his name was a silver dollar which had come his way the day he was released. This A.A. neophyte, still thinking alcoholically, saw an opportunity for a free cup of coffee. The old 12th Stepper saw hope. Fargo's ex-Scotch-drinking Scotchman and intellectual par excellence visualized a symbol. Says Mac, "And your carrying the silver as a Symbol of Sobriety?"
