    Bloke I knew vaguely popped his clogs last week, funeral was on
    Friday. I didn't attend as I knew there'd be plenty there and I was
    committed elsewhere in any case.

    Wish I had gone, though. Stiffy's business partner and lifelong
    friend stood up and read the eulogy, making by all accounts a right
    good fist of it. Extolled Stiffy's virtues, (he was a good guy) and
    went on and on about how close we all are to death and how it comes
    quietly and painlessly at the end.

    Not a dry eye in the (packed) house, he closed the book, dismounted
    the lectern and reassumed his seat in the front pew. And popped his
    clogs, there and then, nary a minute later.

    Even I wouldn't dare write 'em like that. Class act.

  3. I'd have been *really* impressed if he'd been holding a placard saying
    "Told you so!"

    That's the kind of thing my dad would've done if he was still alive.
