I can think of a few who need to be made "involuntary organ doners"
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Neither. I plan to be entombed within a giant statue of myself, with enormous gilded gentials.

I made arrangements to have my body cremated and buried in the forest behind my house. My family's burial plot is in a big Catholic cemetery, and there's no way I want to be buried there. I told my brother he could have my grave.

His grave would have to be located outside the family plot, which was full up after Dad died.

The 'rents had a pair of plots in the local cemetery. They planted the Y-donor there. Mom moved to South Carolina because a stranger kept getting into her house. (That was me.) After she left my sister tried to sell her plot. Such a nice person. Dodgy
