The NEW LIVING WILL
For your signature.....

1. I, _________________________ (fill in the blank), being of sound mind

and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by any artificial means.



2. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerhead

politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.



3. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a

cold beer/beverage of choice, it should be presumed that I won't do so ever again. When such

a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my care givers, spouse, children

and attending physicians to Pull the plug, Shut down the power,

Reel in the tubes and call it a day.



4. Under no circumstances shall the members of the County, State or Federal

Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery.



5. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay


attention instead to the health, education and future of the 40 million Americans

who don't have any health insurance and aren't in a permanent coma and who

nonetheless may be in need of nourishment.



6. Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don't

care how many religious right, born again, fundamentalist votes they're

trying to scrounge up for their 2008 presidential campaign, it is my wish

that they play politics with someone else's life and leave me alone to die

in peace.


7. I couldn't care less if a hundred pro life zealots send e-mails to

legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don't know these

people, and I certainly haven't authorized them to preach and/or crusade

on my behalf.



8. If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a

political cause, I hereby promise to come back from

the grave and make his or her existence a living hell.
