Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 01, 2009

You have to check to see if you are mentioned.

See who’s on the Disabled List?

That puts a positive spin on mortality.

With each dawn, a new game begins.

My grandfather used to say his favorite activity at the nursing home was coming to breakfast to see who didn’t make it through the night.

the obits publish the “non-starting” lineup for each day.

The “Standings”, that’s pretty clever – short for “Still Standings” obviously.

Any day I don’t read my name in the obits is a good day indeed!

Kind of like the “Transaction List” of who’s retired, injured, probable, questionable, etc.

The game of life: Only those who lose it gain ground.

I had a friend call me worried one day, my name WAS in the obits!! Even the middle initial was correct. My youngest had just turned two .. I told her I guess we now know I can’t survive being a mom to two young boys! ;P

The younger generation never understands elderly humor.

Benjamin Franklin said:

“I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.”

Sounds like these two.

To each his own.

ROFL! Hilariously funny! Birth, live, and death. Get it?

I’m at a curious age too young for Social Security..but old enough to drop dead..NOT FAIR!!! On the bright side I’m still on the “Top Side” so I guess I’ll finish my comics now
