all things work together

weep, tho angels fall, still are angels all
cry, tho devils aspire, they still suffer heavn's pyre

we are all punished according to our nature
or so we've all been taught at home

but sinners die toothless and old
saints die martyrd, young, and alone

An open letter to people that walk in front of me holding a lit cigarette.

Dear person,

Were you to walk down the street indiscriminately spraying your own urine from a squirt gun, it would be more healthy and less disgusting.

I can only take comfort in the fact that you hasten your own demise with this behavior.

Thank you very much.

ketchup
1711, from Malay kichap, from Chinese (Amoy dial.) koechiap "brine of fish." Catsup (earlier catchup) is a failed attempt at Anglicization, still in use in U.S. Originally a fish sauce, early English recipes included among their ingredients mushrooms, walnuts, cucumbers, and oysters. Modern form of the sauce began to emerge when U.S. seamen added tomatoes.
