I know it is fiction Milton but I bet it happend somewhere to someone. It is crazy but I found humour in it, knowing it was fictional. Thanks for the smile. Have a enjoyable day my friend...

Life is full of surprises. I like your reply to Ilene Bauer because I write most of my humor like you do / Maurice

Thanks, Ilene. I've always heard if you have enough money you could get away with it. IDK. (chuckling)

Wonder if he pleaded the fifth? I don't know this story, L M, but it sounds interesting.

Completely fiction, Jim. I just like to write these funny epitaphs that come to me now and then.
