THE DEEJAY'S GUIDE TO ORGAN REMOVAL
- - - - -- -------====={by Gnarly Wayne}=====------- -- - - - -
At one point or another, everyone has considered the removal of their own
internal organs to help free up space, not unlike when you clean up your
hard drive, which is quite similar to the human body. But did you know
that you can also sell that isht for big $$$?!?!?
"But Wang, how do we know which ones are safe to remove and still have a
high dollar value?" is what you ARE asking right now. Well, that's why I
created this easy guide for you to follow.
Now, as a general rule of thumb, all organs are worthless, depending on
your lifestyle. God just put them in there to take up space and to add
some colour to the body. Okay, now get your scalpel, some tupperware,
and some tissues, and get ready to make some incisions!
HEART: These babies can bring a pretty good price because grrls like
things that are heart-shaped, regardless of whether or not they are
covered in blood. But don't try to sell it to a man, because he will
think you are hitting on him and might go out with you!
Ease of Surgery: C-. These can be difficult because the stupid rib
cage can get in the way. To avoid the extra work of rib cage removal,
try pulling the heart through the spaces between the ribs. It will get
squished a bit, but you can reshape it with a rolling pin.
Lifestyle: A. Due to the selfishness and complete lack of regard for
normal decency that all people possess in the world today, the heart
serves no real purpose in your body. It would look much better on the
mantle or in a pot of chili.
Worth: B+. To increase the value of your heart, try spraying it with
some air freshener just before you peddle your sale. A nice smelling
heart is a high priced heart! (Note: don't use lemon spray because that's
just weird.)
KIDNEYS: Now we are talking! Most people have TWO of these suckers!
You've just doubled your profit margin and you haven't even done
anything! Aces! Kidneys look like little beans or embryos and aren't
very appealing to the art community, but they are useful in the
industrial sector.
Ease of Surgery: B-. Kidneys are fairly easy to remove. Just make sure
you don't remove your liver and try to sell them as kidneys. You will
be a laughing stock!
Lifestyle: A+. Alcoholics horde these things like grim death. We don't
know what to do with them, but, oh well.
Worth: A-. An alcoholic will pay through the teeth for one of these if
he or she is in dire need. Used this to your advantage! Buyer beware:
there has been an influx of kidneys on the market that have been "kidney
punched". To spot these worthless kidneys, look for a stamp on the lower
left edge of the kidney that says "Kidney Punched".
SPLEEN: Spleen rhymes with Ween and that means that these things bring
in very little revenue. They are the cheapest of all the organ
commodities, but can still turn a slight profit in Bogota, Atlantis, and
the third ring of Saturn (hint: day flights to Atlantis can save you
13%).
Ease of Surgery: F. No one has found a spleen yet so unless you want to
cut randomly and hope to be the first, stay away from this financially
depraved organ!
Lifestyle: D+. I think spleens might just be an rural myth.
Worth: E. You can get a kazoo and a plastic spider for a spleen at
Fuddruckers.
EPIDERMIS: Don't let this strange word fool you into not looking into
this lucrative market! According to the sage of Eternity Mountain,
epidermis is your hair and can be shaven or cut, but not both, for some
quick cash when you are in need. Don't try to pull the hair out, as no
shrewd buyer will appreciate clumps of knotty hair. Use a jackhammer or
a laser pistol instead for greater accuracy.
Ease of Surgery: C. The actual procedure itself is quite easy. The most
difficult task to find the evasive hair. While you sleep, it likes to
relocate itself on your body. Favorite spots to hide are on top of head
and behind the spleen.
Lifestyle: B. In the 1930's, hair was used to fashion weapons for the
upcoming world war. When it was discovered that it didn't work, hair was
then imported for use of making Chewbaccas and Tribbles. That same
time-honoured tradition continues to this day.
Worth: C. With a Chewbacca and a Tribble in almost every household today,
the hair trend is on a slow decline. Unless a new use can be found soon,
the market will quickly die out. Sell all your hair now!
LARGE INTESTINE: Not to be confused with the small intestine, the large
intestine has been a market staple for some time now. If they didn't
have the tendency to come alive and steal your car, large intestines
would currently be enjoying the highest net worth of all the organs.
Ease of Surgery: A. Reach, grab, and yank. (hint: be prepared for a
world of hurt).
Lifestyle: B-. You might not want to remove your large intestine for
the simple fact that it might steal your car. If you do not own a car,
maybe it will steal one for you. Who knows? Stranger things have
happened.
Worth: B. This market is steady, steady, steady. I don't know what
that means, though.
LUNGS: Not to be confused with bungs, the lungs can gather oxygen and
sell it to other organs for a small fee. This may seem beneficial, but
sometimes your lungs will overcharge, which drops the stocks in the long
run.
Ease of Surgery: A-. There are rumours of a new technique for lung
removals where you take an anesthetic and have a doctor remove it for you.
Sounds too good to be true.
Lifestyle: D+. Unless you need oxygen for some reason, this one is
basically free $$$.
Worth: C. You can make them into a conch, I mean crotch, I mean gondola.
That covers the basic organs that will get you some nice $$$. You can
remove all the others ones if you want the extra space to put in a
microwave or whatever, but don't try to sell them cause no one will want
them. Use this guide in good health. Here are some satisfied customers
of the The DeeJay's Guide to the Removal of Organs for Fun & Profit.

A FIREPLACE AND A BEARSKIN RUG
- - - - -- -------========={by BMC}==========------- -- - - - -
A warm brick fireplace, a bearskin rug. The scent of a cabin. It smells
of cedar wood although you look around and see none. Who knows? You've
only been here awhile, it's not like you own it or anything. And me?
I'm just the narrator. Don't ask me about it, you're the one who sees it.
There is a light snow falling outside. The air is cool by the walls, but
you are laid out in the middle of the room on the rug with the heat of
the fire wafting up and caressing your nearly-chilly body. But don't
worry, the fire is keeping you cozy. And it's a good thing you are
sitting on the rug too, or it would be the floor, the stone floor.
Masterful masonry, not quite like anything you've ever seen, or maybe
even heard of. So is this place a castle or something? No, it's too
small to be a castle, but it is nice. Real nice. What did you do to
deserve being in this place on a night like this?
You met the right person. That's the answer. The fire is getting warmer
and it is beginning to feel a bit warm for a turtleneck. Now you look
down, a bottle standing beside the rug, and you notice a half empty (or,
in this case, half full) glass of red wine in your hand. You revel in
the pleasure you receive from the one-on-one contact and conversation -
witty, and occasionally intimate. A hint of foreshadowing, perhaps,
about what will happen later this evening.
Another drink. You top off your wine glass, laughing at some cavalier
comment, and have another moderate sip. You feel a light spin from the
room as you glance around at the grey walls, undoubtedly carved by a
contracted super-secret society, but for now all that you think about is
where this night will lead.
Should you cry out in pleasure? Laugh in disbelief? Yes it may be -
this is the feeling you've wished for since forever. For once, not a
worry, not a longing. Everything you've ever hoped for is here with you,
and for the first time that you can remember, you will yourself to be
left vulnerable, to give yourself to any situation that arises. Outside,
the cozy snow falls faster. You drink the rest of your wine, and pour
some more.
Taking another sip, you notice the room spinning a bit faster. You
laugh. The room cannot possibly be spinning, and if it is, then it is
just an hallucinatory merry-go-round. You feel young again. Everything
comes out. There is not a scrap of inhibition left in you. Open. You
are open. Open and content.
Look around again, wide-eyed, and hit a high wave of sobriety. Aha! The
room is still spinning! As you lose your focus and fade again into
intoxicated dullness, you think you notice the stones of the foundation
beginning to move unrestfully and grind against each other. It is
getting colder, the fire is fading. Perhaps it would have been a good
idea to leave that sweater on. You look around for it, but it appears
that the rug has devoured it. As the powder that is grinding from the
stone walls turns to chips, rocks, some larger pieces crumbling, you
wonder if alcohol has this sort of hallucinatory effect for everyone.
Your wine glass shatters in your hand as you convulse mildly in fear.
The walls of the room shatter as the roof spins off into the snowstorm.
You are assaulted by a cold front that ravished your ill-clothed body.
"Let Me Rape Youuuuuuuu" the wind howls.
Your lover? Where is your lover? Nowhere? The bearskin is moving from
the inside. A hiding spot from the cold, or a certain death? You look
toward the bear's mouth and, as expected, it devours you entirely. Hey,
the turtleneck is in here! That's awesome! Next you are fed through the
bear's acidic stomach where you are burned and horribly disfigured, then
on to the intestinal tract where you wait out the storm.
You awaken in bed next to your lover with a hangover and symptoms that
are strangely similar to those one experiences when coming off the date
rape drug. That's not what happened, though. That would be a stupid
ending to this story. You ask what happened to the house, and your lover
says "It crumbled and fell apart and the roof flew away, but I fixed it
while you were asleep." "Oh," you say, all things justified. "Wait -
what about my horrible burns and why am I no longer disfigured?" "Oh,
well I administered first aid and now everything is back to normal, and I
also hooked you up with that chin job you'd been whining about wanting
for the last however long."
"Cool."
And there's another secret for you to discover. Did you know that your
lover and the bear were one and the same? Everything is starting to make
sense.
"But... But..." you look at your naked torso, then look to your lover,
then to me, and ask, "But where is my sweater?"
My friend, some questions were never made to be answered.
