Do it for charity

Yasser Arafat is (almost) dead (or is he?), perhaps from AIDS. Now the leaders of the PA are heading to Paris to preside over his death, although his wife is trying one last attempt to hold him to ransom. Everyone's waiting, and some are even getting ready to make the most of his passing.

But an opportunity is being missed here. Instead of letting one of his flunkeys be there to flip the switch at the end, why not put it up on Ebay and auction off the right to be the one to put an end this terrorist's life? The proceeds could go to the victims of the various homicide bombs that have killed Israeli civilians over the years. If I knew how to set it up on Ebay, I would.

Any bidders?

(thanks to CF)

Homicide bombs? Are those different to justifiable-homicide bombs, manslaughter-bombs or criminal-negligence bombs?

I'll let someone else pull the switch, if I can dump lard on him, cremate it, and then dump the ashes into the Pacifc, on the exact opposite side of earth from Jerusalem.

I think that Isreal is trying to get a package together ... the whole GDP for one year ... to win the bid. They are even contemplating a pay-per-view too!
