Sorcery VS Rectum

You need an ass transplant or you'll die. The anus costs $25,000, and you can't find a donor.

Is this any different than someone putting a magic wand to your head and demanding $25,000 to not cast the spell? If it's different, how?

I would say you are basically hosed since you can't really get an ass transplant and magic is not going to cure your ailment.

In the UK you are required to register your rectum at birth. The information is stored on an ID card in Whitehall. When you start earning a wage above the official poverty line, a Rectum Tax is applied to your wages on a Pay As You Go basis - the self employed have to calculate their own.

If at any point in the future you need a transplant, the money is taken out of this fund to do it. The poor get theirs free, the rich pay for it privately and the middle class have to wait for 6 months while all the paperwork is checked to make sure they have earned enough to cover the cost of the operation. Unless they submit the claim Out Of Hours, in which case they can only be operated on on the last day of any given month.

Seems perfectly fair and simple to me, and I don't understand why this isn't the model adopted by the US.

It is entirely different to being held to ransom by a magic wand. The first scenario is one you can plan for, whether by saving money yourself or committing to higher taxes. The second is one where someone without morals has been allowed to get hold of a dangerous magical item. Wands don't ruin arses, people do.

And in which case your rectal disease has spread to your liver, brain, and bone and now there is no hope for you. To the back of the line you!

You don't have to pay $25,000 - there's an asshole in your chair at this very moment.

Oh no I di-int!

You know, if people wouldn't use anal loopholes, and avoid paying their anal tax, there would be plenty for everyone to have a minimal amount of rectal coverage. Instead we have our asses all over the world, shitting in Iraq and Afghanistan, wasting our sphincters on foreigners. The nerve!

i think that would cause a rectal-donor-feedback loop that would in turn cause a collapse of the space-time facbric in my immediate region. once that kind of thing gets going, it just sucks up everything around, including canal water. I've been told that my ass sucks canal water, but i didn't appreciate it at the time, and if for no other reason than to thwart the accuracy of that statement, I'll have to decline to provide my self with my self as an asshole donor. I would accept your lips, however......as they are quite sphincter like and already shitty.
