The suit still doesn’t protect against a head shot.

I once read about a guy who was buried with his Model T. Before he died, he said that that hunk of junk got him out of a lot of holes and he was sure it would get him out of this one too.

Some people apparently don’t believe “you can’t take it with you,” or else they just want to deprive somebody of its use and enjoyment.

My grandfather used to say that he wanted to be buried in his birthday suit. He thought that idea was hilariously funny. My grandmother didn’t — when he was buried, he was wearing proper clothing.So she got the last word.

If that girl is the same one I read about, she was buried in her favorite lacy nightgown, and the seat was reclined “to a comfortable position”. The car was encased in concrete to keep anybody from digging it up.@ RadarRecon, not really, it’s about what makes HER feel good. Normally, when you die, you’re not worried about how you’re going to stick it to somebody else. That’s just dumb. It was about HER.
