In the spring of 2009 Ringo Star is informed by his doctor that he has a fatal case of Entitelitis. Over the next several months his public appearances continue to dwindle until early August, when they stop altogether. By this time the odd's makers in Las Vegas had already suspected for several weeks that Ringo was sick, despite his record labels claim he was working on material. So when in early September an unconfirmed source leaked to the press that Ringo was fatally ill, they acted quickly in altering the betting line. On October 2nd the Las Vegas betting line had even money on the last surviving beatle being either Ringo Starr or Paul McCartney. On October 3rd it had Paul McCartney being the last surviving beatle by ten to one odds. This sudden shift went unnoticed by almost all of the mainstream gamblers in America. While betting on death came into fashion for a brief period during the late 70's, in the 2000's it was considered amoral by most people in the betting community.

Roger Lowquid was an amoral person, who liked to think of himself as a professional gambler. This, despite the fact that he worked for the post office. Betting on peoples lives gave him a sense of power, and that in turn gave him an erection. And so it followed that the quality and duration of these erections were directly proportional to the amount he bet. However he found that the more he used this technique, the less it worked. By the time he read the October 3rd betting line on the last surviving beatle, he had gone three months without arousal. It has been said that going without food for three meals is enough to drive a group of people to revolt, well going without an orgasm for three months was more then enough to drive Roger Lowquid to measures akin to revolution in their extremity.

October 10th, Paul McCartney is found dead at this home. After a brief investigation it was determined that the cause of death was anthrax poisoning from a chain letter the late singer had opened. The letter had originally been addressed to the U.S. House of Representatives, but through a mysterious sorting error had been delivered to McCartney's estate.

It's bad luck to throw away chain letters.
