A quote:

""She came to the ticket counter and said she needed to change her reservation because she had to get to Atlanta immediately to donate one of her kidneys to her sister," the agent remembers. "She was in tears. My heart went out to her, so naturally I waived the change fee and additional collections that I would normally have had to charge her."

Then a supervisor asked him to look up the donor's frequent-flier file.

"Lo and behold, this lady had already donated three of her kidneys! Her father had already died at least three times as well," he says. "Plus she had numerous other emergencies." "

Regarding multiple kidneys:

Man wakes up his doctor with a phone call in the middle of the night.

"Doctor, doctor. You have to meet us at the hospital. My wife is having an attack of acute appendicitis."

"Don't worry. Have her take two aspirins. If it's not better, call me in the morning."

"No, doctor. I know the symptoms. It really is acute appendicitis."

"Can't be. Two aspirins. Good night."

"How can you be so sure? You haven't seen her. I'm looking at her right now."

"Simple. I removed your wife's appendix eight years ago. Nobody has ever heard of a woman having two appendices."

"You're right about that, doctor, but haven't you ever heard of a man having two wives?"
