Locals Resort to Selling Organs As Fuel Prices Soar

In a shocking turn of events, Bendigo locals have discovered a revolutionary solution to the ever-increasing fuel prices: selling their organs on the black market to fill up their gas tanks. With petrol costs skyrocketing faster than a 5-year-old on red cordial, resourceful residents have decided to part ways with a kidney or two in exchange for a full tank of fuel.

Inspired by the saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Bendigo residents are now embracing the philosophy, “When fuel prices hit the roof, sell your kidney.”

While some critics argue that the plan might be unsustainable in the long run, others believe that Bendigo’s citizens are setting an inspiring example of thinking outside the box – or the human body – in times of economic crisis.

“We always knew Bendigonians had a heart of gold, but who knew they’d be willing to part with it for a full tank of unleaded?” chuckled one local.

“It’s a win-win. I get to Melbourne to see Taylor Swift, and a recipient gets a new kidney!” said Influencer Mackenzie Chud-Smythe.

As fuel prices continue to rise, Bendigo remains a beacon of innovation and resilience, proving once again that when life hands you lemons, you can always turn them into a kidney transplant.
