Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 28, 2018

I used to hear a different version of why someone would be buried that way. It had to do with the world kissing one goodbye.

Then he should be buried with his aunty.

He could never face up to important things..

You bury a vampire face down so he can’t dig out of his grave—-he just digs further and further down.

I guess he couldn’t face dying?

Do they make caskets with three part lids? You know, with one just below, say, waist height?

He’s an introvert. He just needs time to recharge.

Half a century ago, computer programmers were buried face down, nine-edge first. (Will anyone under retirement age recognize the reference?)

Not so much anti-social as pro-solitude.

He has already turned over before e Wass put in his grave.

I put in for cremation. As for the resurrection question, I foresee problems in resurrecting bodies that were pumped full of chemicals. The Bible did not specify any preservation and Orthodox Jews forbid any artificial corpse preservation.

That’s why my wish is to be cremated. I wouldn’t want anyone to see my at my worst.

No, he died in recovery from scleral buckle surgery (look it up on YouTube for a gross-out; I can promise you it’s even worse than it looks for the patient) and they had to bury him that way to keep the gas bubble in place.

Charlie Brown’s anti-social cabin mate passed away!
