dave9199 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 I heard on NPR this morning about a plane that crashed (I forget where). What was the plane carrying? Skydivers. Quote
patricia Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) I heard on NPR this morning about a plane that crashed (I forget where). What was the plane carrying? Skydivers. That's exactly what I think whenever the Darwin awards are published. How about a situation in which a dear friend, for a joke, e-mails all your mutual friends a fond obituary they've composed for YOU as a joke? Everybody except you receives the e-mail and thinks you are dead. Then, when you realize what's happened, you try to handle it with good humour and grace, notifying all that you are in fact alive. Oddly, you are suddenly vilified for not being angrier? Yes. It happened to me. Made me wonder whether that very sweet and caring obit will just be saved and used when I finally do die, which of course I will. Edited July 31, 2006 by patricia Quote
patricia Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) A dear friend??? Exactly. He thought it was funny. Go figure. All I could think of was how thankful I was that my parents are not alive anymore to have been told that I was dead when I'm not. As it was, I wonder whether when I do die, which I will, he will just re-cycle the same obit. Edited July 31, 2006 by patricia Quote
dave9199 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 I think I might like a funny death, not painful, just funny to the people who know me. I don't know what an example might be though. Quote
Noj Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 I imagine a funny one involving myself, several of the Clipper Spirit cheerleading squad, a hotel room, and a gallon of sipping tequila. Quote
