Appendix Arriving

Mail order organs? Especially one that you don't get replaced - once it betrays you, you never trust one again. This seems like a bad plan all around, and also most likely illegal. And also deadly. Don't get your internal organs on Amazon.

Appendix Leaving

My brother-in-law, who's only slightly older than me, had his appendix try to kill him a few weeks ago. He was able to get the surgery before it exploded in him. It's so weird that we have an organ that can just decide to mount a mutiny and we don't know what it does but we just leave it alone until it tries to rebel, at which point we throw it away.
