Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 18, 2015

In my area, they run the departed’s high school graduation photo,in his obit, even if he passed at 90 years old. In most cases, it’s pretty hard to identify.

I want my obit picture to show me naked. They won’t forget me then.

I have an old pic of my husband with his 1970’s hair/sideburns. He not allowed to die, lest I put that pic in the obit.

I want my obit photo to be my avatar; just a faceless person in the crowd…

As long as they don’t use my driver’s license picture.

comicsssfan: I don’t read the obits at all. If it is of relevance, my wife will point it out to me. She reads it to make sure she is not mentioned.

I check the obits. every morning and if my name isn’t it. Then, I get out of bed. Bar Rum Bum.

How about if you’re behind the wheel of an Indy car? Or the one I saw recently, behind the wheel of the taxi you drove for decades? An old Foxworthy redneck joke goes, “If directions to your house include ‘Turn off the paved road’…” Well, I went to a funeral that was so far back in the woods that not only did directions to his final resting place include “Turn off the paved road,” you also needed a 4-wheel drive to get there. Only funeral home I’ve ever seen where the hearse was a 4WD Chevy Suburban.
