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
a Glass of Pinot Noir
a Bloody Mary
a Gin and Tonic
a Glass of Chardonnay
a Steak
enchiladas with green chile
The remote control
a bowl of ice cream
Sex
Chocolate
It should be presumed that I won't ever get any better. If 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 and get the party on. I’m home partying with the Lord.
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 let me know.
