Eulogy

I wonder, if we were to tell more jokes about death and dying, would the subject be easier to talk about with our loved ones. Here’s one to start trying the theory out. Hope you enjoy it, and maybe repeat it.

Eulogy

After dying in a car crash, three friends go to Heaven for orientation.

They are all asked the same question: “When you are in your casket, friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?”

The first guy immediately responds, “I would like to hear them say that I was one of the great doctors of my time, and a great family man.”

The second guy says, “I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow.”

The last guy thinks a minute and replies, “I’d like to hear them say…… LOOK, HE’S MOVING!!!!!”

    OK – all I could think about when I read that last bit was “Brains … Brains!” (Night of the Living Dead reference.)

    It’s really weird, but for some reason or other this single post has attracted a huge amount of spam comments — fortunately all caught by akismet. I can’t think why it should, can’t see anything in it myself. But I think I will go ahead and close commenting on it. Sorry for any inconvenience — unless you’re one of the spammers, in which case I’m not quite so sorry. :)
