Accept Donations from Me at Your Own Risk

Reha and I are in the car driving back from the South Jordan City Police Department (more on that later, I assure you) and we passed a billboard urging people to become organ donors.

“Reha, you know anyone who needs a kidney? ‘Cause I don’t think I need my left one. Seems superfluous.”

She can see that this is going to be one of those conversations.

“No, Jon, I don’t know anyone who needs a kidney.”

“Well, if you need a kidney, babe, you can have mine. It’s all yours. Serious.”

“Thanks, that’s sweet. But we might not be that great a match. We have different blood types, for example.”

“Right. And, plus my kidneys are probably too dumb to live inside you. Your organs are all smart and stuff.”

“...”

“Yeah, my dumb kidney would be all, [affecting stupid, stoner guy voice] ‘Hey man, I only know how to make pee. Duuuude, I don’t know anything about the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and stuff like that.’”

“...”

“So you can have one of my kidneys, but you should know its limitations before you let it inside you. Plus, though it makes pee pretty well, the left one has a kind of an attitude. I think it feels like it should have been the liver. It’s always making comments about how it could do a better job with excess bilirubin. And that it could do more than ‘just urea.’”

As you can probably guess, the conversation degraded from there.

1. I think you and my husband (HRH) may have been separated at birth.

2. He has a kidney with a bad attitude, too? There’s a lot of that going around, I hear.

   :-]

3. Anyone who gets your left kidney will end up rejecting it. And they’ll be all like, I knew this would happen because it wasn’t the right one.

5. A man with a sense of humour!!  Good showing.  I bet if you really quiz Reha, that is why she married you.

6. *Falls on the floor with a flurry of riotus rib-shattering guffaws*

   Is there such a word as ‘riotus’???

   Very funny man… Sounds like a conversation my wife and would have.... we call it: “The Spice that keeps us together” ..

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
