I come now on bended knee. Yep, I'm begging....for flies.

Here's the story.

incredibly strange story snipped

Man, that's the most bizarre offer I've ever seen! At first I thought you
were joking, then I remembered you were the one that had your fingertip fly
taken off of Ebay for breaking the rules regarding body parts!

Now, I tell you what, I'll be happy to tie a fly or two to contribute to
your tontine (first I've seen that word), but, I do have some expectations
of outliving most of you old farts, especially with this crazy tontine on
the line! Hell, I may have to sell my motorcycle to lower my risk!
