Kickass, the doorstop dog, will be working with the keeper to bring the business of human spare parts out of the medical shadows and into the strip malls with the auto parts dealers where it will be more accessible and perhaps even competitive.
Based on the recent experience of Phyllis’s hip joint replacement– the long wait to get it scheduled and the price tag, as well as the rapidly evolving simplification of replacement procedures, it seems it is time to rent store fronts and put up signs next to O’Reilly Auto Parts saying “Kickass Limb Joints and other spare parts.”
Perhaps the chiropractors could get in on the action, “Get your adjustments and replacements here!”
Maybe with Phyllis’s daughter Gina and son in law Steve in the business, they could have cut her a deal, perhaps a special on “Mom’s” hip joint sale and installation.
Unfortunately, it is too late as Phyllis has only two hips and they have both been replaced.
But that does not detract from the business opportunity the keeper has identified, and he is certain it will be only a matter of time until the profit motive puts store front body parts and even replacement brains on the open market.
Kickass can hardly wait!
