Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 22, 2023

Or both.

There goes a fellow who doesn’t get intimidated easily.

If you ignore the wake-up call, you get the give-up message.

I wonder if anyone’s last words are “The password to my crypto currency is purple people eater.” A heads-up so you have time to say that would be useful.

Duck!!!!!

She’s putting words in his mouth.

In the Hear After?

There was one. He didn’t listen. They never do.

Who is this guy? Max Headroom?

Another possible inscription: Why did you say “Heads up” when you meant “Heads down”?

I don’t know if any of us really get that notification, do we? Maybe email…? ;-)

I’ve warned my brother, several times, that if I go before he does that he better make sure everyone has a great time at my funeral, or I’ll get up and walk out … ;)

i’ll be right back is a good one

I am surprised that nobody posted that his last words were, “Hold my beer and watch this!”

Oh, you get a heads up, but you have to go looking for it with open eyes and ears.

My ashes will be interred in a niche in the columbarium at our church. It will have my name, date of birth and date of death. No last words.

So, I’ll post them here: “It’s was a great ride!”

That’s what happens when you keep your head down, I guess.

She could be right. But, so far, there has never been a communication from ‘the other side,’ so it’s all guesswork at this point.

Famous last words …. How hard can it be?

Fore!!

Burial at sea for me with a marker next to my fathers in the veterans area of the cemetery – the wife wants to be buried in their family plot next to her father – kids are ok with it for both of us…

Actually, “Incoming” would have worked.

When I was working a theater, in school, the requirement was to shout “Heads UP!” if you dropped something from the lighting level. It went like this:Tool is dropped.Person realizes the tool is falling.Tool hits the floor. “CLANG!”“HEADS UP!”

One’s life style ought to be the heads up.

Actual headstone in the Los Angeles cemetary where Al Jolson is buried(forget the name)

“If this is Heaven, then where’s the chocolate?”

Maybe it’s better not to know!.

With a little notice, think of the cleaver things you could have inscribed

My sister died four years ago at the age of 71, of a cerebral aneurysm that burst as she was climbing up her basement stairs with some food from the freezer. She fell backward and was likely (mercifully) brain-dead before she hit the bottom. My brother-in-law reported that her last words were “Oh, fu©k.” We all agreed that that’s how she’d want to be remembered. At her memorial, the phrase “a force of nature” kept coming up.

Funny to encounter the term “heads-up” right after I’d used it in a letter to the editor about political conditions here in the Badger State:

During state Supreme Court hearings on a challenge to Wisconsin’s legislative-district maps, Justice Rebecca Bradley, echoing several Republican state legislators, mentioned several times that newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz may well have already formed an opinion that the current maps are “rigged.” Well, yes, I expect that she has. But here’s a heads-up. I’m pretty sure she’s also formed opinions that will prove deeply distressing to the “water is dry” activists and “sun rises in the west” lobbyists.

God, wonderful God, never gives us a task bigger than we can handle. Proof of this is that everyone who’s ever been given too big a task is dead. This is so reassuring.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

One too many surprises.

Yes – “Danger, danger Will Robinson!!”
