That card ought to say how much your quality of life will be improved before your final dirt nap, because once you're in the ground (or cremated) that's as far as it goes.

Atheists are damned to hell for their disbelief. You'll need a "Get Out of Hell Free" card, too. Of course, an indulgence is worthless unless you make it to purgatory in the first place.

They work like stock options. Of course, this means that indulgences themselves need to be bought and sold on the open market as well. I wonder how much Hemant wants for his 100,000 hours off? Since God is a Republican (AKA stock broker/banker), I'm sure He would have no problem with honoring indulgences that were traded. I guess you just need to be the legal owner of the indulgence at the time of your death. I'm sure God can keep track of that since He is all knowing and all.
