I was just reading the paper this morning and thought I'd share this story about a true hero and unselfish kind of guy.

 

Brown recently learned he didn't have long to live, he wasn't about to have everyone wait around for the funeral celebration. At the fire chief's request, longtime friends organized a kind of goodbye bash at the high school Saturday night that was expected to draw as many as 500 people.

 

This in a village where the official population is 494, according to the state.

I would like to go out with a bash too.

I'd be the same. Spend more money on my wake so everyone who is still living can enjoy themselves. I don't need a fancy service or a mahogony, silk lined coffin. I'm dead! What do I care?

 

Though to be honest I do want to be cremated and have my ashes spread in the Pacific ocean. Say a few kind things about me and call it a day. I'd be content with that.

Those villages are so far apart it's hard to keep up with the emergencies.

Yep. Cremated and as far as I'm concerned you can flush the ashes if you want.

Cook me up and feed me to the hogs I don't care. ;)

I'm a donor so hopefully something good will come of my demise. Perhaps they can transplant some of my massive amounts of flesh onto Merc when I go. ;)

 

But yeah, I never wanted or would want a ritzy wedding and I have no desire for a fancy shmancy funeral service. I'm a simple girl through and through.

 

And I'd be honored to flush you down the sh!tter, IWS! hahaha!
