In Deepest Sorrow....
Self | 11/28/2002 | Rockitz

Posted on 11/28/2002 9:14:36 AM PST by Rockitz

All,

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my appendix this past Wednesday evening at roughly 6 o'clock. We enjoyed many adventures together. It was my one and only appendix. It will be missed. Sniff....Sniff....

A private ceremony was held on Thursday morning in the pathologist's laboratory.

Please send your condolences to my surviving organs at the above address. The survivors request that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to "Rockitz' Appendix Fund." One in six people will lose their appendix sometime during their life. Only you can prevent the loss of this misunderstood organ with no apparent redeeming value.

Thanks for your concerns,

Rockitz

DISCLOSURE: The mission of Rockitz' Appendix Fund is purely to benefit Rockitz and promote the prevention of appendix loss and enhance the lives of all affected by appendicitis, especially Rockitz. Rockitz' Appendix Fund was established in 2002 to address Rockitz' specific needs for entertainment dollars during his recovery and serves as the national representative of the sole chapter in Marina del Rey, CA. Rockitz' Appendix Fund efforts benefit only Rockitz. Your donations are not tax deductible.

Thanks but I drink a gallon of water a day so mine is in pretty good shape. Scotch contributions accepted, however.

I'm all out of appendixes, but I've got an extra gizzard
I can send you. Good thing I saw this before I boiled it for my dog.

It'll be about five days by UPS. Try to hold on.

Happy thanksgiving.

If it's a series and I keep on losing organs, I could be in trouble.

I had my appendix out six years ago. I gained the weight right back, however.

Start your own fund. This is my ticket to wealth, fame, nirvana, and all that other stuff.

This is the best comeback I've gotten from my e-mail buddies.

"I have decided to limit my donations to people who have lost their index or table of contents as opposed to those who have lost their appendix. Sorry."
