Thank you, The Holy Child of Atocha, because my old man Aron Recendiz didn’t noticed Sancho under the bed. He pulled out his gun but, because he is cross-eyed, he didn’t see anyone.

When I found out that Juansito cheated on me with this snake Mariela, I waited him at the kitchen. When he came back home from work, I killed him with the bread knife. Then I was going to thrust that knife into my heart but I fell and hit my head. I fainted. With this colorful picture I thank Saint Honoratus for the miracle that today, on the day of my 35th birthday, I’m going to be happy and in good health again.

I’m thanking the Virgin of Guadalupe for seeing with my own eyes the infidelity of my fiancée whom I wanted to marry. But because I saw her with another man, I left her and thus I escaped future infidelities.
