I thought this was going to be easy

Hello!


Well everybody has an opinion about the funeral thing.


My bath giver came and we started talking about it, he said that that was probably a bit too steep of a price to pay for cremation that he was going to get me a number of a co-op that people with limited financial resources go there to plan their final Adios. Okay, I'll bargain shop my funeral! Then my brother came by and asked me how it had gone yesterday, I told him the story, the prices and what was going to happen. It's a scam! He yelled. You are going to be paying every month for seven years and when you die your wife and kids are going to go and claim a lot of land just to find out there isn't such a place, they are going to find out that you were had, better them than me I say to that! Why don't you save your monthly 30 bucks in a shoebox and at the end of seven or eight years you will have enough to be cremated. Sounds like a plan!


It doesn't end there!


First of all my wife doesn't believe in cremation, she believes that if you're incinerated your soul will wander around, so cremation is off the list for her. Then today I get a message from my sister-in-law, donate your body to science! Huh? Yes, give it to science so that they can advance the MS cause. Okay, I never thought of that, I wouldn't like people laughing at my body once I'm dead: "look at the fat Guy's weeney, it's shaped like an elephant trunk!" That's just great! I had to live with this deformity all of my life and now I still have to deal with it even when I'm dead?! I don't think so! If I'm going to go to hell I might as well start training for it by being incinerated. At this point I don't know anymore what I want, all I know is that it's going to be very difficult to call the guy back and tell him that there was a slight change of plans.


So much for making arrangements...


Take care people!
