Careful With Your Words

King Kong forwarded me this and definitely I like it...

"Careful with your words.

Last night I was sitting in the living room, talking to my wife about life... In between, we talked about the idea of living or dying.

I told her: Darling, never let me live in a vegetative state, totally dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die.

My wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration towards me... and proceeded to disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the bar and threw away all my whisky, rum, gin, vodka & the beer in the fridge.

I ALMOST DIED!

Morals:
1. Think about what you wish for.
2. The female brain works on a different wavelength from the male's."

So how do you find it? I like it a lot. This explains how much we depended on electronics (forget about the liquor thing because it doesn't apply to almost everyone) and how the wife actually relates this to being a vegetative state, which is true in a way.

There is always a debate on the pros and cons of technology advancement and it is always an endless cycle as we do need it but are we over-relying on it? A point to ponder upon...
