Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 25, 2024

A vertical board or post was inserted at the end of the wall between frames.

The sign could also be true if it were in front of the bar.

Don’t bury me. I wanna go out in a cheap casket (or none) and a big flame. Then be scattered in a pretty place where my progeny and theirs can enjoy a walk or a picnic.

At least it was a passive revelation. I’d be more worried what revelation would be there if the name of the cemetery was “Ex-Termin(at)us”.

Walking past a cemetery: a near death experience?

Bars?? Where’s the nearest one??

ICYWW, the sign in the first panel is not the same as the one in the second.

In Poughkeepsie, NY there is a cemetery at the end of a street with no outlet. The city has erected a “Dead End” sign at beginning of the street.

We celebrated my brother’s passing this weekend. Good food and fun. (He died on Halloween.)

Must be in Rome…

That’s why you need to enjoy the journey…..

I’m donating my body. My family will have no expenses. Medical students will learn. My organs will be used. My wife will get my cremated remains later. I suggest everyone should consider this.

And here I was, thinking all roads end in Rome.

And always stand with your back to the wind while you scatter ashes.

I want my cremains launched in a skyrocket

A rip on the old joke people like to say passing a cemetery. ‘People are just dying to get in there.’ :P

Cremation for me and all mine, too.

Bob is right. There’s gotta be a better choice to consider than death, especially during the next 5 or 6 weeks. While liquor might not be the best one, it beats sitting and just grousing about life.

Sad but true.

A life is like a book. It has a first page and a last. Make the story that lies between, a good one.

Memento mori

“…that’s why bars were invented.”

I wish I could get more on my phone.

I plan to be cremated. My family can do what they want with the ashes later.

I’d get cremated too, but I have so much fat I’d probably start a forest fire

We once used an earlier gps for directions to a cemetery, and when we got there it intoned “you have reached your final destination.” Thanks for that reminder.

I don’t go to bars, but I guess if I believed that’s the end, I would. And several other things. And end up there a lot sooner.

Flush my ashes down the toilet. Then people will visit me daily.

I saw a comment once that said “my last chance for a smokin hot bod is cremation!” Sounds about right.

My father purchased a plot in the least expensive section of a cemetery bordering a 4-lane highway, i.e., roadside. From then on to his passing he asked that, when the road gets widened again, have his casket serve as a speed bump.

Put a bench and a peach tree over me, so random strangers can thank me for the shade and fruit.

I’ve always found cemeteries very peaceful. No problems there.

Except it’s not true. “According to recent data from the National Funeral Directors Association, currently around 36.6% of people in the United States are expected to be buried in a cemetery…”

Here here, make mine a double ! ;-)

“Please don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground;

No, I’d druther have ’em cut me up and pass me all around.

Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes,

And the deaf can take both of my ears, if they don’t mind the size."

—John Prine (R.I.P.)

Tempus fugit, memento Mori. De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

Not for the soul.

Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn, they understand there.They have a heavenly choir and a military band there.Just put me in their care, I’ll find my comfort thereWith sixteen planes in a last salute they’ll drop a cross in a parachute

I’m leading toward composting at the moment. Put me in a paper bag and bury me.

Life is real, and life is earnest/but the grave is not its goal.

Dust thou art, to dust returneth/ was not written of the soul.

Last of the line on my branch, they can flush me for all I care. No one is going to put flowers on my headstone. Thats fine by me.

If that’s a revelation, he’s led a very sheltered life.

Try to be sure your last words are “Man! What a ride!” or at least “No Brakes!!!”

Yep … Bars keep us sane … Raise a glass!
