Now THAT is interesting.

Turk is a rather interesting fellow.

Back to the topic.

Either side of this arguement can be taken to the extreme. The plug could be pulled far too early on someone that has a real chance to recover OR someone can be kept alive long after they should have been allowed to pass away. The problem is trying to figure out just where in between, is right. There is probably no easy answer as in many cases it is a personal or family decision. Certainly money should not enter into the decision unless it is a case of a family going broke trying to keep an old geezer alive.

On the other hand, the actual topic is that the government in America proposes to step in to make that decision by basically withdrawing services in favor of a painkiller - just allow the person to die as they will die anyway - the government - not the patient or the family.

Cremation for me...but not in a furnace (I'm not even Jewish).

I want a big phuking funeral pyre, coins for the ferryman and some beer for me friends while Stairway to Heavan blasts through some bigassed speakers.

...and naked wimmin dancing...and a pig or five on spits...and...and...damn, I wanna be there!

Whatever your choice, keep the old quote in mind......

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy s$it...what a ride!"

I'm thinking that part of that is owning and driving a Cobra - FAST!

It's a Hefty bag at the curb for me.

I told Pauline to just toss my dead arse into the sea, and then throw a barbecue for our friends. First lyin' bugger who starts moaning about what a great guy I was gets chucked into the drink as well.

PS - I want an invite to Jamo's send off. I'll be sorry to see the big guy go but hey - what a party!

To be Recycled?

[computerworks]

This is NYC... real men don't recycle.

We should all have a Redneck death. Expire shortly after saying, "Hey, Watch this!"

OK, so why waste a bag?

[computerworks]

There are rules about what gets picked up.

If you just put a body at the curb on pickup day, they include you in the homeless count...and give you a hot meal.

..and since it is NYC, there's a 50/50 chance you won't be picked up.

[Tinker51]

You think the odds are that good?

[Ronbo]

I just told my buddies to take the wallet from my back pocket and drop me off downtown (preferably stuffed in the air ducts at city hall, so I can annoy them for a change). That way I don't have to waste money on a funeral.

Have planted about six of my mates outside the 100 fathom line east of here (Bermuda).
Commercial fisherman tell me the groupers in the area are big critters.
Hmmm!!--I wonder if they get a buzz off the embalming fluid.

Lol! Sounds like these groupers are pretty well fed. I've never seen the logic in getting all carried away embalming a stiff that's going to be thrown into the sea. Likely makes them taste like crap, but knowing groupers and some of the other critters that hang about down there, they probably choke it down anyway!

For some strange reason, I can invision you out there on the curb each day taking advantage of the free meal......Life is good...
