With the murderer Jack Kevorkian soon to be released from prison on parole, he has to think about earning a living. According to this story, he has decided to go into business as what he calls a circumcision consultant. From the story: “Kevorkian was asked if his circumcision consulting might only be a subterfuge to hide his actual goal of helping people kill themselves. ‘Nonsense,’ he answered. ‘Nothing could be further from the truth. I am really looking forward to a brilliant new career in foreskin termination.’” Let’s just hope doesn’t video tape himself at work like he did his last job.
Yes, of course, it’s a spoof.
