I'm reminded about a parable about a poor widow
contributing two tiny
coins, a trivial amount, but “Truly I tell you, this
poor widow has put
more into the treasury than all the others. They all
gave out of their
wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in
everything —all she had to
live on.”

So she starved? WTF? Are you really OK with that?

Good point: WTF!

I'll bet you think the guy who told that tale should

Good grief, Krygowski, you have no idea who made that

(The King James anyway. If you read it in the original

 I understand that the Book of Mark was originally written in Greek.
