I can’t. My wallet is a medium green with gray trim, with plastic panels framed on the front featuring an unknown, badly drawn, vaguely anime-esque animal in four frames. I think I got it at a dollar store. I can’t make fun even if I wanted to.

Am I missing something?

I think they use just about anything, heart, kidneys, retinas.

I don’t think you’d want my liver.  
Waits for wooshing sound.

I can make fun of both of you as mine is plain black. BWAHAHAHAHA!  
Small Clanger, it’s a Monty Python joke…in The Meaning of Life, this guy fills out an organ donor card for his liver. Well, they come to take it - while he’s still alive. :eek: Amidst the blood and screaming and all the gory bits, the other guy is trying to convince the donor’s wife to give too, and they have some famous guy - I forget who - sing a truly great song that convinces her, too.
