In response to myself concerning my last post “Why not put an international bounty on Osama’s head?” I would like to add: Why not put an international bounty on my head?
I have a nice head and there are those that might have an interest in it if the proper opportunity presented itself. I realize the reward would not be as substantial as for Osama’s, but I argue that my head has its uses as well:
- It is not nearly as controversial. This, in itself, means it can be more readily prepared for its final use (whatever that may be). There is no extra baggage associated with my head. No NGOs, middle eastern governments, nor secret terrorists groups would oppose my head. It is neutral and nicely shaped.
- It is newer. There are less lines on it. Whatever use could be had for Osama’s head would work with mine as well, except I think I could safely guarantee a longer shelf life. Think of it as a head with an extended warranty.
- The present condition of my head is impeccable!! In addition to being chronologically younger, my head is virtually unused. I could, given the opportunity, provide ample documentation to show my head is almost “good as new”. There are my projects from school, videotapes of my behavior, photos, eye-witness testimony….all pointing to a complete flat-line.
The reason I’m promoting the idea of an international bounty on my head is for the excitement. Think James Bond. I want people to chase after me. I want to have a reason to be paranoid.
Life is crystal clear when people want your head in a basket. Staying alive is an heroic act. If no one is trying to cash in a bounty on your head….what meaning is there?
Think of how dramatically different your life would be if you were a “wanted man”. I can only think of one word: Cool.
