   My family’s usual “pluggerville” comment about the deceased is “Don’t he look natural?” Whenever I hear that phrase, I usually think to myself “hmm, he looks dead, but our mortician did a great job preparing the body for display.”

   Lived in a small town where most every family knew each other, or were at least familiar with them. As such, I spent a lot of my childhood and teens visiting the funeral home. Knew most of the funeral home staff in our town and the town down the road – and being an odd kid I would always compliment the staff on the good job they did in making the ex-person look so presentable. Through the years I’ve attended funerals in larger towns, and their work wasn’t nearly as good as that of the small town funeral homes where the staff knew the person when they were still alive.

   @bmwk12ltc – Sadly the single engine available in the US has been “tuned” to US emissions standards, giving it half the economy of the smarts available elsewhere in the free world.

   My 2006 CDI (diesel) gets nearly 60 mpg in mixed driving, around 70 mpg on the open road.

   Strangely, the diesel engine used in the smart has the lowest emissions of any engine on the market, but is not offered in the US as market studies done by SmartUSA said that Americans wouldn’t buy them. Oddly, yet again, is that smartusa is a seperate entity from Daimler-Benz, who markets the cars in the rest of the world, meaning you could get them serviced by a mercedes dealer. Don’t you love Capitalism?

   I have to object to the grammar in the above strip and the usage of the phrase “bless his heart”

   Poor Brian, bless his heart, is from Idaho and grew up out west rather than down South where I’m from. We use the term differently our daily grammar and such - though in the same spirit as he did above. I guess I’ll forgive Brian since he didn’t have the privilege of being raised in The South, bless his poor little heart…
