As a trusts and estates attorney, I have decided to add the following living will form to the forms that I offer to my clients:
Living Will Form
I, __________________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.
Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it. Nor in the hands of doctors who are interested simply in running up the bills.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:
Bloody Mary,
Margarita,
Glass of wine,
Martini,
Vodka and Tonic,
steak,
lobster or crab legs,
the remote control,
chocolate,
ice cream,
sex,
or __________________________________
(add other items here)
...it should be presumed that I won't ever get better.
When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
At this point, it is time to call a New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had.

I enjoy most 'whistling past the graveyard' type humour, we could use a little levity when dealing with the subject.
