Time To Lay It On The Line

My New Living Will Form

I, Father Time being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead partisan politicians who couldn't pass a ninth-grade civics test if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors/hospitals interested in simply running up their bills.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

    ______a Glass of Spring Hill Cellars 2003 Pinot Noir
    ______a Margarita
    ______a Double single-malt scotch on the rocks
    ______a Pint of Guinness
    ______a Glass of any Chardonnay
    ______a New York Steak
    ______Lobster or crab legs
    ______The remote control
    ______a Glass of milk and two Oreos
    ______The sports page
    ______Chocolate
    ______Sex,

it should be presumed that I won't ever get any better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

At this point, it's time to call the New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band to come do their thing at my wake, and ask all of my friends to raise their wine/beer glasses to toast the good times we have had.

NOTE: I also hear in Ireland they have a Nursing Home with a Pub. The patients are happier and have a lot more visitors. Some of them don't even need embalming when their time comes. (Fly: Can you confirm this?)

::chuckle:: Very entertaining. Yeah, I think a nursing home with a nearby pub is a good idea!

Pinhead partisan politicians. Good alliteration there. :)

thedeviluno: Feel free to copy and place in your safe deposit box.

Ms. Apple: Good to see you back. Hope you're feeling better.

I may have to build my own nursing home but rest assured, it will have a happy hour.

BTW, thanks for the compliment. It's appreciated.

Father Time, I can not independently confirm the story about the nursing home with a pub, nor the embalming thing; hence, I shall go research it for you.
