Final Parting

Here lies the body of a memorable man
Unfortunately, he passed while on the can
We found his body beside his throne
And buried him here with this headstone.

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/29/2022 11:13:00 AM There was a burly coal miner who died in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales) after taking a crap and pulling the chain which brought down the cistern above his head killing him whilst flushing him down the bowl. So you can thank him for cisterns being attached to the bowl instead of overhead! Aloha! Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 8/30/2022 11:13:00 AM Published in the South Wales Echo. Aloha!

Michael Tor Date: 8/28/2022 8:56:00 PM Milton now you got me thinking. I wonder how many have perished in this final act of release. LOL. My comment shouldn't be funny but I really can't change what occurs in life, and this humorous write of yours doesn't help. lol.
