We'll have a Benz GTG and shoot you out of a rocket. TheDon can come up with the rocket design.

I want to be cremated, ashes put in Ben and Jerry's ice cream cartons and given out to to whomever "wants a piece of me." Then I want everyone to go to a cigar bar, drink and be merry knowing that I'm doing the Rhumba over the "Rainbow Bridge." Also, I want everyone to watch Blazzing Saddles.

Oh,can't rid yourself of grandiose notions,eh?Well if I'm invited I'll certainly do justice to the 1st requirement.

When I shuffle of this mortal coil simply cast me into the sea so I may be of some use to the sharks,gulls and microorganisms,If they'll have me.

Being the silver-tongued professor of verbage it's only appropriate that you deliver the eulogy.

I went to funeral in Virginia once where all the family members were crying hysterically loud. So loud and crazy my wife and I were freaked out. God, the guy was pretty old...

You're definitely on the list, Carleton. Hopefully, we'll meet in person BEFORE then, though. The Manhattens and entertaining stories will, no doubt, flow freely . . . .

I might just have my funeral BEFORE I die so I can come, too. Sounds like it will be a blast.

Literally.

I didn't know Carleton was a Vikings fan. I figured he was partial to the Giants or the Jets.

Thumbs down Two in two weeks

Three weeks ago it was my best friend. Two days after that funeral, a friend of mine's 20 yo son was killed in a head on MC accident. He was on the bike and the 18 yo driver of the car, under the influence of weed, pulled out to pass and hit him head on. A tragic and very, very violent accident. Happened at 2:30 in the afternoon, half mile from his house.

Boy, that was one sad viewing a week ago last Friday and there wasn't a dry eye in the Church on Saturday morning. Really hit this town hard. Nice boy, Good family. He was about to go back to WVU for his thired year.

After those two weekends, it was nice to have this past one go by smoothly.

When I die I'm taking my W126 with me; and a grave that match's my ego.



I just need 20k Jewish slaves to build it!

Just a word of caution, Hattie. If they all threaten to walk off the job, let them. It's just not wise to stand in the way of a bunch of Jews eager to leave Egypt . . . . especially if they are following one who is waving a big stick around, babbling about flies, frogs, blood, and whatnot.
