Puts it all into perspective

WRRS.

I was on a picket line on Wednesday supporting some primary school teachers with their kids when all of a sudden a Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale came screeching up, pulled to a halt and two men with machine guns wearing Top Gear t-shirts jumped out and mowed down a dozen of them in cold blood. I then reflected on the family and friends of the deceased. Put my petty worries aside and wondered how much the car cost to insure.

Hope you feel better soon.

"We don't have time to get written consent, so you'll have to give consent verbally." That one concentrates the mind, although you'd have to be a bloody idiot to say "I'd rather not" if they say that

Hmm, not if they are asking whether they can harvest your organs.

It's no laffing matter.

I went in for an ingrowing toe-nail and the anaethetist got it wrong. So they thought I was a gonner and stripped me down to the chassis. When they realised they had made a mistake , they had to do a recall on all of the bits.

In the meantime, they had grafted
1. A pair of 3 inch ears onto an african elephant
2. A hyper-active masturbation gland onto a Bonobo monkey
3. A Moustache onto a galapogus tortoise
4. My penis onto a syrian gerbil
5. my liver into George Best

I eventually got them all back except for the liver. I wonder what happened to George ?

Nothing like death or dying to put things in perspective.

I got an e-mail from an old friend a few weeks back, we'd lost touch over the years and it was great to hear from him and I looked forward to resuming correspondence.

About halfway down his e-mail he told me that he was trying to get in touch as he had developed cystic fibrosis and had probably less than a year to live.

What got me was the optimism of it all, this was a guy who had two liver transplants, a quadruple bypass and had died more times on the operating table than he'd cared to remember but he was excited about his bucket list. It seemed the CF had brought back on the cirrhosis that he'd had before his transplants when he was a teenager and the anti rejection drugs had knackered his kidneys.

His musing was that many people who have had transplants often don't get to live a long life and he was going to make the most of what time he had left.

As Cojak said, why do we sweat the small things.

I suppose people just have a 'worry level'

there will always be something to worry them, if it's not being eaten by a sabre toothed tiger, it's worrying if there will be enough apple sauce for the pork roast
