Senior Care ...

From my dear friend and cousin-in-law Encino Man in an email last night:


So...you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you, what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Congressmen.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They're all covered. And, as an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It's the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a nursing home.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

Is this a great country or what?


Either that or die before you get sick at this point.

Kind of a strange reverse drive of "pay it forward" eh?

I like it entirely too much.

Maybe we'll all get ankle bracelets and home confinement and we can get what we're supposed to right here...

4 bullets, 4 congresscritters. Do you get a mulligan if you miss one?

I don't really get your point. Somehow I find it so interesting..
