Cosmo should fit right in with that dead end job… ;-)

Also known as…..the newspaper morgue.

Where people are dying to get in…

There won’t be any customer complaints!

You are now in charge of the death sentences.

Along with that he gets to do “the former lifestyles of the former rich and the former famous”.

“Only dead people think these fashions are still hot!”

Just ‘keeping up’ with ’Cosmo’s’ speed ! ! ! ! !

Covering the latest trends in funeral attire.

And the deceased wore a lovely shade of bronze.

Another dead-end job!

Years ago we had a little business and part of our job was phoning obits into the local paper. One we’ve never forgotten was from a man’s wife and was extremely long with lots of flowery language. But the phrase that’s stuck in our minds forever was “I kissed your cold dead lips”! The lady taking it down at the paper choked!

My grandmother called the obituaries the Irish sports page!

Have been thinking about writing my own obituary. Will have to get busy and accomplish something first.

“Famous Last Words!”

Deathstyles of the Rich and Famous!

Where old, bad newspaper writers go to die.

That’s a dead end job.
