Nice duds, Zonk.

The search for the perfect cliche

So, folks, what would you like them to say at your funeral? (Spare me, “Look, he’s moving!”). For myself, I’d like them to say, “Most of the time, he meant well.”

Frame three is reminiscent of Shakespeare’s “She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?”

Yes, he was.

When I croak I won’t be there to “enjoy” the things friends and relatives will have to say about me.I’m an Atheist but I’ve heard about reincarnation. If I do get reincarnated, I’ll want it to be on another planet in another galaxy, preferable a planet with a global Socialist government.

Now let me say a few kind words about the dearly departed…." a few kind words ! "

Duke was…. um…well, Duke was a mammal.

The “Baby Doc” bag hints at that which is to come.

“A man of many drugs, err, seasons.”

As Joey Bishop said when Bela Lugosi died: “He’ll be back.” Then Bishop went back to his poker game…

Duke shall rise again. He is not gone.

Duke shall rise again. He is not gone.

Duke was not “Something”. .Duke was more of a “Something Else”.
