there is no use..........

ernest hemingway got the news july 2nd 1961 that a child was born in newark, new jersey that would one day potentially over-shadow his writing skills and possible many others with the slightest of ease, tapping life heartaches and triumphs, living past all of societies expectations.................that particular morning, the glorious morning of the birth of the jersey prodigy, ernest rested the gunbutt of the double-barrled shotgun on the floor of a hallway in his home, leaned over it to put the twin muzzles to his forehead just above the eyes and pulled both triggers. he purchased the shotgun through Abercrombie & Fitch.... they have the cutest clothes.

serious distance between eyebrows and top of head...maybe he was aiming for "center of mass"

Ha. Never heard the Abercrombie part of that...
I wonder if the photo in the catalog had two strapping young lads, black and white, wrestling over the shotgun on the dock at the yacht club? Was Bruce Webber even around to shoot that?
