St. Petersburg, Florida:

A Florida woman is offering to sell one of her kidneys to pay
off a hospital debt. Ruth Sparrow ran an ad over the weekend
in The St. Petersburg Times. It read: "KIDNEY - Runs good.
Taking offers."
Sparrow is serious. She owes $20,000 for gall bladder surgery,
and wants to pay it off.
She says both her kidneys work fine and she's willing to part
with one to settle her debt. She offered one directly to Bayfront
Medical Center, which turned it down.
The newspaper has stopped running the ad, since selling organs is
illegal in Florida. 

Between my post-USMC and my present mathematician era, I 
was a cop. A judge who later ended up on the 2d District Court 
of Appeals told me once, "The only differences between 
lawyers and protitutes are that prostitutes are generally better 
looking and more honest about how they make a living."

Back in the old days my Uncle Bucky bought a new
Model A Ford.The next morning he was on his way
to work and crashed into a car pulling out from
a sidestreet. Being the witty person that he is,
he wrote a letter to the Ford Motor Company..
"I blew my horn, it did no good; and now i have a
busted hood". Two days later a delivery truck
arrived at his residence with a brand new hood.
