If you have ever thought about adding the 'organ donation' option to your driver's license, you gotta know that it doesn't mean that when you kick the bucket that your old Hammond or Wurlitzer monstrosity that you used to bang out Lawrence Welk tunes on every Saturday night while dressed in polyester will go to your favorite charity. What organ donation does mean is that upon your expiration date--assuming that not too much time has passed--that your body will be harvested for usable organs for other living beings. Nice, huh?

Now you might be thinking that the subject is a bit morbid, but becoming an organ donor just might be one of the most honorable things you will ever do in your lifetime, and the beauty is that a part of you will continue to live long after you are gone!

I may not have been the kindest to my heart, especially with all the deep fried foods and Mrs. Dunster donuts I've consumed through the years, and my liver would have been much happier had I skipped college altogether, but come to find out they are still worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! That's right. How do I know? Watch the video below and consider becoming an organ donor.
