A. A. Allen the AA Alcoholic Evangelist! old time religion

What could possibly be more appropriate than an alcoholic evangelist named A.A.Allen? A preacher alcoholic named A.A. who didn't got to A.A. Oh...life is wonderful. God? Never fail to bring me such fruity pebbles, and I promise not to curse at rain ever again. Even on golf days.

Except that alcohol killed A.A...a bad liver in 1959. At the time of his death Alonso was publishing 55 MILLION pieces of paper a year! Did HE have them major hornswoggled! He had his own hired "goons" who punched out anyone he didn't like at his revival meetings. Yes, he could perform miracles. His greatest miracle was filling his pockets with ducats. The only miracle he could not perform was a liver transplant.
