Broken Wand - Eugene Burger

I just heard the news that Eugene died from cancer on August 8th in Chicago. Sad news indeed, R.I.P. Eugene.

Simone Marron via Facebook writes:

    It is with heavy hearts that we, friends of Eugene Burger, inform you that Eugene has passed away in Chicago at the age of 78.

    Eugene enjoyed a long, healthy life, but was very recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Even so, his death today came more quickly than expected, and we are deeply shocked and saddened by his loss.

    We know that in the days, weeks, and months ahead, countless things will be written and said about Eugene, and we will share more information, too. But for now, we want to tell you that Eugene embraced his situation with great clarity, humour, and peace of mind. As he said one day, “Now I am on the way to the ultimate capital M Mystery of life.”

    Please join us in remembering and celebrating Eugene, a rare and wonderful person who has meant so much to us and to magicians all over the world.

So sad to lose a true legend.

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??
