I've forwarded interesting things (but only the best) to my friends for years, but never have I received such response to an email forward as I have to this one, which first came to me via my friend and real estate agent Cindy Broeker. Apparently this one struck a deep nerve with many people. I think we're all tired of do-gooder politicians who think they know best for the rest of us, in matters which should be handled privately and personally rather than publicly.
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 peckerwood politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for (please initial all that apply)
_________a martini,
_________a margarita,
_________a beer,
_________a steak,
_________the remote control,
_________a bowl of ice cream,
_________a Kahlua on the rocks,
_________sex
It should be presumed that I won't ever get 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.
Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay attention instead to the future of the millions of Americans who aren't in a permanent coma.
