at JFK to random
traveler: "Excuse me, sir---sir, are you afraid of flying?
Random
traveler: "No. CRASHING."
***********************************
It's not the thought of being dead
that keeps me sleepless in my bed,
it's the method in which I go,
be it fast or be it slow.
It might be too confusing
to pass while simply snoozing,
and the nursing home nightmare
is a thought too hard to bear.
No long illness to make me simper,
I'll go with a bang, not a whimper.
HEAR THE TRUTH WITHIN THIS ODE:
DNR--Do Not Code.

Television Reporter
shortly after
hurricane Katrina,
interviewing a
random
New Orleans
resident: "What are you guys going to do, now that all
your churches have been destroyed?"
New Orleans
resident,
scowling: "We goes to Popeye's."

GOD BLESS THE IGNORANT, FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.
