'Sick senior citizens'

So if 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 four bullets. You are allowed to shoot four MPs in the ass.

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 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?

What a good idea, I shall bear it in mind for the future, might need a bit of target practice though.

I never looked at it like that Dollie, it's not a bad Idea and you would never be lonely either, only problem is you would have a criminal record and become unemployable, so when you come out after 20 years you'll never get another job, your life would be ruined at only 100 years old!

Aw well Jem, there's always a down side.

But its quite scary how near the truth that actually is.

Oh I know Mazzie, they say in fifty years time 120 year olds will be quite common, frightening isn't it, they'll all be like Zombies going to the post office for the pension.

My dearly departed dad always said that if he was told he had a terminal illlness he would bump off a few people who richly deserved it as he would die anyway. Fortunately for them he lived healthily til 96.
