If a loved one got diagnosed with a painful, terminal illness and asked you to help them terminate their life before they deteriorated, would you do it? If so, would you want to be present during their last moments?

What would be a creepier response?

YES, of course I'll help you terminate your life! Shall we say...6PM tomorrow? Oh. You mean, if you ever get really really sick in the future? My mistake!

WHAT? You want me to do WHAT? Excuse me. Every, I REPEAT, EVERY life is precious. You will die when Jesus decides it's time for you to die. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you're still alive because Jesus is decorating your heavenly apartment? And if I help you die prematurely, you'll arrive to a completely unfurnished apartment! Jesus would be so ashamed!

Obviously, I am not going to answer that question. You can't answer that kind of question until you're actually confronted with that dilemma.

If cryogenics became a real, affordable option (i.e., if you could freeze your body until aging and illnesses were better understood), would you consider it? If so, do you fear you'd miss out on the wisdom that comes with growing old and dying?

Today I was watching an infomerial for a cooking product. Basically, it was a glorified hot plate. The woman (let's call her Aunt Horty) was showing her clueless friend (let's call him Dumbass) how EASY cooking could be if you simply used Glorified Hot plate.

Dontcha just hate how hard it is to cook an omelet, Dumbass?

Sure do, Horty.

Well, just use my Glorified Hot Plate and presto! Omelets have never been easier!

There was just one big problem. The omelet looked like a quiche! I really thought she made a quiche when she pulled that thing out of the Hot Plate. Ugh! I bet it was nasty.

Okay, let's not give up on Hot Plate yet. Does it make delicious pizza?

Okay, first. I had a big problem with Horty making pizza in this stupid contraption. Are we so lazy that we can't put a pizza in the oven? Really? We need to use this stupid thing?! WHY?!?!?! How hard is it to pop a pizza in the oven!

The pizza looked too thick and too crunchy. Some might like that, but I do not. I have a feeling the pizza sucked. But Dumbass sure loved it. I bet he likes anything......

Even corn dogs.

Yes, Horty made corn dogs. CORN DOGS!!! No, they did not resemble the corn dogs from your youth. She made some freaky type of corn dog casserole. The batter was poured into the hot plate with bits of hot dog. WHAT. WOULD WOULD EAT THAT!? Besides Dumbass, obviously.

Oh God!

And the stuffed frenh toast! UGH! It looked like a panini!

Who buys these products?!?!?!

French toast is easy to make. Corn dogs are for children. Pizza takes 15 minutes in the oven! WTF, I type.

Come on, Horty! You disgust me. DISGUST ME

I can't remember what the product was called. I just have no idea why it needs to exist.

Time to go cry about it.

yes.

Chaz Billingsworth, you were my wonderful secret husband. For nearly 30 years, you quietly hid in my basement, so my husband Hortberto would not find you. Remember the times we had at Bob's Disco Shack back in the 70s?

You had no qualms about living in the (very spacious, if I do say so) basement.

But, one day, you stupidly did laundry on a Wednesday. I CLEARLY told you that Hortberto does laundry on Wednesdays! He found your load of tightie whities in the dryer and that was the end of my marriage. Some people wonder why he never noticed your bed, living room and mini fridge in the basement. Well, Hortberto was not a smart man.

Well, anyway, Chaz. After Hortberto moved out of the house, you moved upstairs. Things were going great. However, you never ate my chicken piccata. That really made me upset. You told me that capers made you gag. However, I would always soak the capers JUST FOR YOU so they wouldn't be so potent. STILL, you wouldn't touch my chicken piccata. What was your PROBLEM? That was my grandma Betsy's recipe straight from England. Did you care? no. You were so horribly rude. I packed up all of your stuff and sent you packing. That was 10 years ago, and we haven't talked since. Well, I've poked you on Facebook, and you tagged me in some old photos, but that's it. We have not spoken. I think it's time for me to say...

Can I friend your new wife on Facebook? What? no, i don't want to stalk her! Geez. I just wanna be friends, okay? Does SHE make chicken piccata? HA. I bet she doesnt cook at ALL!

Ahem.

I think I'm going to make pumpkin pie for thanksgiving. I am soooo traditional

You are pregnant

When to go:

You are so delirious from fever that you went on Amazon.com and sent all your friends a copy of Sarah Palin's book for Christmas.
You contracted an STD, swine flu and tuberculosis in the same day.
You stepped on a rusty nail and havent had a tetanus shot since the Nixon administration

I believe that white people are racist against me.

I am white. But I am extremely white. The less white despise me. They think I'm disgusting. My skin color is so revolting to their eyes. These less-white often mock me, asking me why I don't go sit out in the sun. They laugh when I DO sit in the sun and burn and then quickly turn back to pure white.

They don't accept me for who I am.

I feel shame about my skin color. I don't know who to turn to. Black people know what it's like to be hated simply because of their skin color. And so would someone who was born purple. But these people won't accept me....

no one will.

I AM ALONE. ALONE. Here I sit, on my white bedsheets, completely blending in (my outfit is also white)

Who do i turn to?? Who knows my shame?

Racism lives on. The ultra-whites are hated by the tanned-whites. This needs to end. Why can't we all just get along? I DIDNT ASK TO BE BORN THIS WAY, I WOULD LOVE A GLOWING TAN!

You know, I don't know what's more embarrassing: obsessive Dasani drinking or obsessive Purelling (it's a word)

Oh, how about a person who only drinks from bottled water AND purells constantly?

Little known fact: prior to the advent of bottled water, every human being died from tap water poisoning, except people who only drank beer. Thanks to those fine folks, the human race rebounded!

Other fact: prior to every purse and pocket containing a bottle of purell, humans battled year long colds. There was not a day when humans felt reprieve. On may 6th, 1985, (one day before my birth. just a fun fact) approximately 20 MILLION! Americans called in sick.

The president KNEW something had to be done about our constant colds! Pretty soon, Nyquil would become so rich and powerful that it would overthrow the government and make sure we NEVER got cured.

SO.

President Nixon (is that right? yes, yes i do believe so) and vice president al gore devised a magnificant plan to quell the coughs and end the aches plaguing americans.

They invaded Grenada.

Americans always had a strong desire to invade that land of delicious nutmeg. Ah, nutmeg! Not only does it taste EXCELLENT in desserts and squash, but it also has drug-like effects. I guess that means it's a drug. Whatever.

So, Nixon and Gore sent our troops into Grenada to steal 50 million pounds of nutmeg. Soon, Americans were ditching their nyquil and eating nutmeg-laced food items. Almost instantly, everyone felt much better. Well, except those people that get flu-like symptoms from nutmeg. but nixon and gore sent those people to guantanamo bay. they're un-american, anyway. who hates nutmeg?

'Sorry to give ya cancer, Bob. But your skills are needed here in heaven. Bob, I need you. Now, put on these little shorts and do some sprints.'

I wonder what Rush Limbaugh would do in heaven all day long. I'm assuming politics can't be discussed anymore. Maybe he'll join the track team? He can do the shot put.
