"ICIGSITBOTH" - In Case I Get Shot In The Back Of The Head

For those of you in London there's a similar initiative, using "ICIGSITBOTH" - In Case I Get Shot In The Back Of The Head

Eight out of ten people aren't carrying information that would help if they were accidentally or mistakenly shot 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're somewhat dark in colour, 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 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.

Shut it you! Haven't you got sheep to fondle?!

 

RE: I know..

Very magnanimous of you!

 

RE: ****Site Admin****

My sheep fondling days are behind me Acky. How are you? Aside from putting the world to rights (insert winky fella which I'm not using)

 

RE: ****Site Admin****

Im fine thanks. Currently saving some pennies up so I can bugger off to India to do some photojournalist pieces on all sorts of 'boring stuff'. How's yourself, have you been up this way much?

 

RE: ****Site Admin****

Sadly not, last time I was up there, you were writing the match report. I think we were playing Luton under Parkin maybe. Can't remember now. Not a proper fan you see.

Good luck with the money saving Acky. Where do you work now then? Actually maybe you should mail your reply before we get done!!

 

RE: ****Site Admin****

Luton match report....blimey - that seems a long time ago.

I work for the Environment Agency in sunny Leeds. Hardly exciting although won't be here much longer - mind you I said that 18 months ago.........
