    what would you like to hear said about you, at your wake?

    ( this was new to me, tho likely very old)

    Malcolm, Murdo and Callum were sitting in a bar discussing the words they would like to hear spoken over their coffins at their wakes. Malcolm says, "I would like them to say 'He was a wonderful family man - he always supported his wife and kids, and they never wanted for anything'". Murdo nods and says, "That's lovely Malcolm. But I would like to hear them say, 'He was a great man in the community - he undertook a lot of projects to make his community a better place.'" Callum thinks for a moment and then says, "That's very nice, Murdo. But I would like to hear them say, 'Look! He's moving!'"

    I've learned to really trust undertakers. They'll be the last to let you down.

    "We're here because Bill bought the booze. He stipulated that there be no crying or carrying on over himself; so the first crying had better be because someone either finished, or broke, the bottle of the Single Malt!"
    I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.
