Pickles by Brian Crane for April 10, 2009

I’ve always said: Just dig a hole in the back yard, kick me in, cover me up and start the party!

I like parties !

I’ve said the same kind of thing. Why should your loved ones be left with a huge expense? I’d rather they kept the money for their own needs.

Put me in the ground and plant a tree above me. I’ll fertilize it eventually.

I agree with JFrisch419, except, dump me in AFTER the party.

Cremate my body, dig a hole, plant a tree or a bush. A memorial service is nice for the survivors, but don’t spend any more than is legally required to dispose of my remains.

AGREED!!

aerwalt don’t think I’ve seen you over here before!

Have a few drinks, tell a few jokes and spread my ashes on a mountain trail.

I’m with Earl. I hate having to stay still that long.

For me definitely throw a party, I hate a tearfull goodbye!

The problem with JFrisch419’s scenario is you’re liable to get a Tiki Torch planted in your wazoo.

joy618-Re: NonSequitur on 4/9/09, thanks for the greeting! The plane is an RC135M, the aircraft I flew on while spying on Vietnam for 3 years. Let me know you got this, please?

Thanks, Joy. We were kept “under wraps” for @ 35-40 years. The plane was first launched in the early ’60s, and only recently have they acknowledged that it exists. Old Copies of “Jayne’s World Aircraft” never mentioned it, for example. It is a military version of a Boeing 707, the same airframe as the KC-135 tanker.

I like the scene in “The Big Lebowski” where they spread out the ashes of their friend and because it was at the beach the ashes blow back into their faces.
