Eight out of ten people aren't carrying information that would help if
they were accidentally or mistakenly shot 7 times in the back of the
head.
Storing next-of-kin details in your mobile phone can assist the
emergency services if you're unable to tell them who to contact because
your brains are spilled all over a railway platform.
How does it work?
Simply use your mobile's phone book to store the name and number of
someone who should be contacted if you happen to be shot in the back of
the head - but add the letters ICIGSITBOTH in front of their name.
ICIGSITBOTH stands for "In Case I Get Shot In The Back Of The Head":
it's what the emergency services will look for if you happen to be
wearing a heavy jacket on a sunny day and/or fail to stop when
plain-clothed men holding automatic weapons chase you down the street.
Getting started
On most mobile phones you simply need to select "Contacts" and choose
"Add New Contact", then enter the letters "ICIGSITBOTH" next to the
name, followed by the telephone number of your next of kin. Make sure
you choose a number that's easy to get in touch with - and please make
sure that you choose a friend or family member with a good imagination
and strong stomach, as they will no doubt be called upon to identify you
at the morgue.
What should I do next?
Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving has agreed to
be your "ICIGSITBOTH partner". You should also make sure your
ICIGSITBOTH partner has a list of people to contact on your behalf, such
as your place of work (as you probably won't be in on Monday). In
addition, they'll need to know about any medical conditions that could
complicate your condition, including allergies, medication or the
absence of titanium plates in your skull.
If you're under 18, your ICIGSITBOTH partner should be your mother, your
father or an immediate member of your family authorised to make
decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able to think for
yourself due to a sudden interruption in brain function.
If you wish, you can also store details of your immigration/employment
status in
your mobile phone and direct that these be forwarded to Richard
Littlejohn so he can stick the boot in a few days after your unfortunate
departure. After all, you have to be guilty of something ...
Storing an ICIGSITBOTH number makes it easier for everyone if you're
involved in getting shot in the back of the head. It only takes a few
seconds, so do it today - please.
