In my crazy times, I used to worry that French
poisson (fish) sounds like poison, or that the
German word for poison (Gift) taints that word
for me in English. Now I read Greek pharmakon
means both poison and cure. What a mess!

Nevertheless, I am gratified to be blessed with
the language necessary to open the bible in the
end-times, for "they have palms in their hands"!

Oh, and about friendly fire? An ex-military
coworker said to me, "I return friendly fire"

Yours truly,
