Diamond Lil by Brett Koth for December 31, 2024

I knew I was sick, but would anybody listen?

Lots of people like Harv. They’ll be glad to die, if that’s what it takes for them to be right.

His other nickname was Croaker.

Supposedly, Spike Milligan was to have for his epitaph: “I told you I was ill!” But they didn’t do it.

…

“I never felt finer, said the King of China

Sitting down to dine.

Then he fell down dead- he died, he did

It was only half-past nine!"

-Spike

“I didn’t even know he was sick.” – Norm MacDonald

That’s my tombstone!

don’t dig me now! I’m outta here!

I had a teacher that said that. Sadly, she had multiple sclerosis, and took ages to diagnose properly (this was ‘the good old days’). When it finally was her students were devastated, but she was like “told you so!”with a big grin. She was just happy to not be thought crazy any longer. Sigh.

“He lies here, somewhere” …!

( urban myth of epitaph attributed to Werner Heisenberg … famed physicist who’s famed for his work on quantum mechanics AND the uncertainty principle )

Oy! So he was telling the truth! ☺️

Happy new year, Brett
