On This Day | The Knocker

After God finished making the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a knocker. A knocker is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water sogged brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where other men have hearts, he carries a tumor of decayed principles. When a knocker comes down the street honest men turn their heads, the angels weep tears in heaven and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out,” says a Colorado editor.
