Blown away

My next door neighbour was killed in a gas explosion. On his tombstone it simply said. Rest in pieces long time dead.

Oh!! So sad. I feel for that man and his family. I guess that last part saying long time dead meant he died before he died. Sara K

Sister Beryl, we have had some great laughs over the years with our limericks along with magicman and the gang, we had no need for AI in those days.
