    Good incentive not to gain weight, or he won’t fit in the hole!

    Hi wife should beware – the headstone doesn’t have a name on it yet! “Sorry hon, but I’ve got some grave news for you”

    1951…. so he’s not planning on dying SOON…. I hope. But if he doesn’t cover that big deep hole a few steps from the back door, he just MIGHT.

    Some people like assume they won’t survive after the day they retired. Personnally, i won’t want to assume that you could keep your backyard as your grave site.

    I think his retirement plan is going to work about as good as his front door.

    I was born that year, too. Now, I’m “working” to plan for my retirement because I don’t have a pension. If my husband didn,‘t have one, we couldn’t retire. THAT’s scary!

    I bought cemetary plots when I was 30, and now they are 800 miles away and I can’t sell them.

    That is also the year of my birth, but I subscribe to George Carlin’s philosophy of living life backwards and finishing life off with an orgasm.

    Jeeze, is it only us “old” people who read the comics these days? One commenter, like me was born before 1951 and two born that year. And it sounds like a lot more of us fall into the 55 and older group. Maybe it is just this particular topic that gets us “old-timers” talking.

    @cleokaya – I just sent some George Carlin birthday philosophy to my niece who “turned” 32 this past Sunday.

    I was born exactly 20 years before that. Still not looking forward to it though. Think I’ll plan ahead for another 52 years whether anyone likes it or not. If they don’t like it, TOUGH COOKIE.

    At least this guy has a sense of his mortality! Some folks think they or their loved ones are going to live forever. Then it’s a big surprised when someone goes and dies.

    My mom will turn 99 in a couple weeks, she worked until her early 80’s, because she left a high income job at 60, and hadn’t “planned ahead” when making the “good” money. Social Security is now her “income”. I planned ahead (but retired early on disability) so not doing badly, and I have time to read the ‘toons every day. My brother always made more money than me, spent it on “toys”, was a staunch TEA party supporter, and left his widow in debt. Wiley is right, just start where you WANT to be, not with the inevitable, or a deep hole you’ve dug yourself! (or your survivors!)

    I liked Rockngolfer’s take on this, but I have a question. Why don’t U just use the plots when the time comes? After 100 years or so, no one is going to visit and I doubt they are going to dig U up.

    @Rockingolfer= I’m on the local cemetery board so have a suggestion. Donate the plots to the cemetery (if it is a tax deduction) to use to bury an indigent. If the cemetery is not eligible for that, donate to DAV, Salvation Army, or some other organization where you would get at least something for the spots. My church just received two plots as a “charitable donation.”

    PS: You kids born in 1951 are just babies. I was the New Years Baby in 1932 for my home town, and still live here.

    Old monks don’t retire—they just change assignments.

    I just turned 67 and am still working full time and collecting Social Security which I’m putting in the bank. Someday I’ll be able to afford to retire.
