MEET YOUR SHARK
***************

"Hello!"

"HELLO."

"Who are you?"

"I'M YOUR SHARK."

"My shark?"

"EVERYBODY GETS ONE."

"You don't say."

"I DO."

".....why?"

"THE LATEST OF YOUR LAWMAKERS' WISE POLICIES."

"Oh!"

"YES.  IT'S ABOUT THE INJUSTICE OF MORTALITY."

"Is mortality unjust?"

"THE OLD WAY WAS.  SOME PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY DIED BEFORE THEIR TIME;
 OTHER SURVIVED LONG AFTER THEY WANTED DEATH.  IT WAS INEQUITABLE."

"So?"

"SO, YOUR SHARK IS PROGRAMMED TO FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE AND KILL YOU
 AT A RANDOM TIME."

"Oh dear! Um, will it be today?"

"STATISTICALLY UNLIKELY."

"Whew.  In that case, get in the car.  I need to go shopping."

"TIME!!!!"

"What?"
