“Free Organs” Post on Craig’s List Leads To Organ Harvester Frenzy
By Brian Briggs
Portland, OR – Vince Hopper hangs on to life at a local hospital after fighting off organ harvesters who came to his apartment searching for “free organs” advertised on Craig’s List.
Police arrested several harvesters, but organ seekers made off with a kidney, half a liver, two fingers and a pancreas before the crowd was dispelled.
“I woke up and there were these people lined up with scalpels, steak knives, hacksaws, basically anything that could cut. I didn’t know what the hell was going on at first. Then some guy mentioned a Craig’s List ad, and I was screaming that it wasn’t me who placed the ad. Some guy pulled out my organ donor card and showed it to every one. That was all the confirmation they needed,” said Hopper.
Hopper said he was just happy he only lost “internal organs. If you know what I mean.”
Many of the people who didn’t get organs were considering suing Hopper and Craig’s List. Greg Belton, who came looking for a spleen, said, “I spent $50 on ice. Somebody’s going to pay for that. It’s false advertising or something.”
Another man hoping to add an appendix to his collection said this was the second time he’d been burned by Craig’s List. “I’m going to go back to using eBay for appendixes. They’re much more reliable for that kinda thing.”Related News
Authorities are trying to track down who placed the ad, but said this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Police detective Rod Stumpley said, “Last week we had people come and take kids from homes after a ‘free kids’ ad was placed, we had a Wal-Mart cleared out after an ‘everything’s free’ ad was placed. It’s on the Internet so you can hardly blame people for believing it.”
A representative from Craig’s List said that people shouldn’t believe every “free organ” posting on the site, and that harvesters should consult with the donor before removing his pancreas just to be on the safe side.

Yay! I received my NRA Instructor credentials today. I can now show off my officialness and say whipee!
More seriouslly I can now start teaching the classes that are getting backed up. Two new students are signed up and paid for this Saturday and others are already in the waiting queue.
Now I can focus on the other items I want to achieve:
- Range Safety Officer
- Rifle Instructor
- Shotgun Instructor
- Reloading Instructor
In due time, in due time. But things are in motion. I have to give a shout out to someone who is fast becoming a good friend. Berny Hostrop from GBH Gunsmithing. He is a Master NRA Training Counselor and is the one I’ve been going to for my NRA training. Here’s a link to him and I’m going to add his site to my link list.

I found these out on the net today in between my flu coma. I thought they were funny and to the point.
Only in America
Only in America… can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in America… are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
Only in America… do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America… do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke.
Only in America… do banks leave both doors to the vault open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America… do they leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America… do they use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so they won’t miss a call from someone they didn’t want to talk to in the first place.
Only in America… do they buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America… do they use the word “politics” to describe the process so well; “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking creatures”.
Only in America… do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
Redneck First-Aid
Two Southerners were having the blue plate special at their favorite watering hole, when they heard an awful choking sound. They turned around to see a lady, a few bar stools down, turning blue from wolfing down a Specialty Burger too fast.
The first Southerner said to the other, “Think we otta hep?”
“Yep,” said the second.
The First Southerner got up and walked over to the lady and asked, “Kin yew breathe?”
She shook her head no.
“Kin yew speak?” he asked.
She again shook her head no.
With that he helped her to her feet, lifted up her skirt and licked her on the butt. She was so shocked that she coughed up the obstruction and began to breathe with great relief.
The First Southerner turned back to his friend and said, “Funny how that there Hind Lick Maneuver works ever’ time.”

These are actual comments made on students’ report cards by teachers in the New York City school system. All teachers were reprimanded but, boy, are these funny!!!
1 Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
2. I would not allow this student to breed.
3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.
4. Your son is depriving a village some where of an ‘idiot’.
5.Your son sets low personal standards, and then consistently fails to achieve them.
6. The student has a ‘full six-pack’ but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
7. This child has been working with glue too much.
8. When your daughter’s IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn’t coming.
10. If this student were any more stupid, he’d have to be watered twice a week.
11. It’s impossible to believe the sperm that created this child, beat out 1,000,000 others.
12. The wheel is turning, but the hamster is definitely dead.
These 16 Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:
13. ‘You know, stop lights don’t come any redder than the one you just went through.’
14. ‘Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They stretch after awhile.’
15. ‘If you take your hands off the car, I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.’
16. ‘If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.’
17. ‘Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that’s the speed of the bullet that’ll be chasing you.’
18. ‘You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?’
19. ‘Yes,sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?’
20. ‘Warning! You want a warning? OK., I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.’
21. ‘The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?’
22. ‘Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop.’
23. ‘Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.’
24. ‘In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.’
25. ‘How big were those ‘two beers’ you say you had?’
26. ‘No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we can.’
27. ‘I’m glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.’
AND THE WINNER IS….
28. ‘You didn’t think we give pretty women tickets? You’re right, we don’t. Sign here.’
