The sad thing is, this might work...

Well, now that the "Fuck you, pay me" bankruptcy bill has passed, I suggest the following for those in debt and unable to pay:

Say that your debt is due to legal costs incurred while keeping a relative in a persistent vegetative state alive on a feeding tube.

If precedent holds, you'll be getting money and government assistance in no time.

Now I'm going to sit in the corner and hold my head in my hands for a few hours.

(Note: If you're looking for real info on this, rather than my idiot ramblings, I recommend the Talking Points Memo site.)
