Special Delivery

I yell into the house "we got another one". My wife looks at me in a a state of confusion, "this is the tenth one this week" she proclaims. "I know, what should we do with them" i respond. After a moment of thinking, my wife and I look each other dead in the eyes and say in unison " Black market organ trade!!!!" We begin lining up the bodies in the basement for easy access later. We then run upstairs and begin to dial the number of my old Russian mob boss. When he answers the phone we are so excited to tel him our idea that we can barely speak. Eventually we tell him the full story and he enthusiastically that he can set us up selling our newfound organs.
I would choose to live in a library for the rest of my life. I would want to live in a library because there would be enough books to keep me entertained for the rest of my life. Most libraries have computers so even if I did not want to read, i could use those instead. Many libraries have couches or chairs so a sleeping are would not necessarily be a problem. Libraries are also peaceful and quiet so I would never be bothered by loud or obnoxious people.

Mandatory Book

If I were to make one book required reading for every person on the planet, I would choose "The Catcher In The Rye". I would not choose this book because I like it, on the contrary, I hated it very much. I would choose it because, love it or hate it, everyone I know who has read it seems to have a fairly strong opinion on it and I would like to hear some from different cultural perspectives. If everyone were to read this book, I would hope the world would change due to people learning lessons such as one should not be a presumptuous jerk, or that thinking that oneself is better than other people is not an excuse to do whatever you want.
