On Donating Organs
For whatever reason, yesterday at lunch one of the women I work with saw my driver’s license and noticed that I am an organ donor. She freaked.
Apparently, some people believe that if the doctors in an emergency room find out that you are an organ donor, they will not work on you in order to harvest your organs for someone else.
Really, she said this. And others at the table backed her up. I told her she was nuts, watched too much [junk] television, and was absolutely wrong. I even offered to have some doctor friends of mine call her to reassure her. But I guess that would just play into the whole conspiracy theory she’s working with.
Today I need to ask her if she believes that we really landed on the moon.
Just because I can’t let it go: Cheerleader Link Revisited. Really, give it up - you didn’t make the squad. Get over it, life is full of disappointment. And, if daddy thinks you’re embarrassed now, just wait until school starts back.
