New Living Will Form
Could it be? E-mail I received...


New Living Will Form

I, __________________________, 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 ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors/hospitals interested in simply running up the bills.

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

______a Martini ______a Margarita ______ a Scotch and Soda ______a Bloody Mary ______a Gin and Tonic _______a Glass of Chardonnay ______a Steak ______Lobster or crab legs ______The remote control ______a bowl of ice cream ______ The computer ______Chocolate ______Sex or My Bowling ball____

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 is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had.

Signature: ___________________________

Date:___________________________

NOTE: I also hear that in Ireland they have a Nursing Home with a Pub. The patients are happier and they have a lot more visitors. Some of them don't even need embalming when their time comes. If anyone knows the name of this happy place, PLEASE pass it on!

1. Works for me
Much more straight forward then the one I currently have. Sure, it could use a few minor modifications as I do sometimes go long lengths of time drinking only sugar free red-bull and vodka, other times straight tequila. But otherwise, it about sums things up for me.

4. Being a programmer, it works for me
But I would also probably change bowling ball to pool cue. I rarely go bowling but we only have five people on my APA team and we would have to forfeit a game for each week I missed.
