Body Parts for Life
by Mark Koch
With states finding it harder and harder to raise money through lottery
sales, the great state of Mississippi hit upon a winner. The new state
scratch-off lottery, called " Healthy For Life ", has as its top prize,
SURGICAL PROCEDURES. That's right nobby, operations. Prizes range from
removing calluses from your feet all the way to the top prize of a heart
transplant. As hospitalization and doctors fees skyrocket, people are
flocking to buy the new game. One senior citizen was confident she would
win the lipo-suction prize as she waited in a line several hundred people
long.Internal organs of all kinds are being offered. Kidneys, livers,
spleens. Plastic surgery including tummy tucks, breast reduction, neck and
eye surgery were all among the most desirable prizes. Officials in
Mississippi said they were in constant contact with organ donors all over
the world and were ready to pick up body parts at a moment's notice with
their state of the art lear jet flying transplant ambulance. Mountain Dew
has contributed 100 insulated picnic coolers to pack with ice to keep the
organs preserved while in the jet. So if you see an ambulance racing down
the street with a Mountain Dew cooler in it, just shout out the phrase that
pays, " You've got my organ !" and receive a bonus body-piercing. Body
parts brokers are lining up donors in Central America. People in those
countries and similar third world countries will pre-sell their body parts.
If you win the top prize, your heart will be ready when you need it. In
addition, you will receive a monthly letter from your heart-donor. "Hi, my
name is Jose , and you won my heart. It is ready whenever you need it. I am
enclosing a recent x-ray, an MRI, and a CAT scan. I am also sending you a
tape recording of my/your heart beating." As a bonus, the lottery
commission has added a special game. Each ticket also has a special
scratch-off letter. Spell out the word, " TRANSPLANT ", and you win a
sex-change or you can just be neutered, whatever you like.
