Ooh, I hate that.

I'd be better at this than you, because we know that we'd aim
for the stereo set, because we're both far too nice to to give
the drivers more than a scare, right? But I can shoot and have
extremely bad aim.

High platelets isn't always bad, if you can control their
stickiness. I wonder if you can be a platelet donor?

liver, cooked    438-746
kidneys          375                  oysters   230
heart, cooked    150-274              lobster   200
gizzard, cooked  150-229              shrimp    150

pork              70
bacon fat         70

                                      clams      50-80
                                      salmon     35-60
                                      scallops   35-53

Note of course that cholesterol count is not everything, and the total
fat content is relevant, as is (apparently) the ratio of saturated to
unsaturated fat, the ratio of good to bad cholesterol, the presence of
other beneficial fats in fish oil.

Now pardon me while I go and have a pound of bacon fat for breakfast [g].
