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 politicians who couldn't
pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on
it or lawyers/doctors 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 Bloody Mary,
______a Margarita
______a Scotch and soda
______a Martini
______a Vodka and Tonic
______a Steak
______Lobster or crab legs
______The remote control
______a Bowl of ice cream
______The sports page
______Chocolate
______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. 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.

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.
