I was tired of slurpin’ up all my liquid food “meals,” of some kind of nurse wiping my butt after taking a crap, of sitting around for days at a time with nobody coming to visit or even givin’ me a call. But I guess most of all I was tired of of my lousy 122 year old body full of aches and pains, farting all the time and pissing my pants. Who wants to pay for that?
