So, if you are ever called upon to remark upon the dearly departed, lie like a big dog!

That story was in our local paper today. Only in Alabama, huh? I can't imagine anybody saying that the deceased was in hell at his funeral. But, then again, I'm an 'evil atheist,' so what do I know?

Hi Rev, and welcome tp SFN!

Ain't it a trip? I recently attended a funeral of a friend - I'm old enough to start losing them, and one day they'll lose me.

I found the service extremely depressing and not at all what he might have wanted. His family (these are all pretty serious Christians) loved every minute of it, however.

I think that's what it's all about. The corpse of honor means little; it's all for the survivors.

Well, my survivors ain't gonna get it, not according to my will, they ain't. O'course, they might want to party, but it'll be strictly BYOB.

I always said to my friends, "Send me to a taxidermist, sit me in the corner with a beer in my hand and start drinking heavily." Once the alcohol kicks in they will think I'm still alive and start talking to me.

The scary thing is that I'll probably make more sense.....

I am going to be dumped into the New River Gorge and the kids might get busted for littering.

I hate my lawn!
