But, then you stop and think.
You remember that really overly large man mentioned in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" that was buried in a piano case because he wouldn't fit in a casket.
That leads to realizing that they make XL size caskets these days so they would have to have XL size vaults to seal the caskets and so they probably need a little extra room in the plot.
In conclusion, I don't think the person that came up with this knew what the hell they were talking about.
But, it sounds nice.
I want to be cremated. That would be smaller.
ReplyDeleteSusie, me too. Throw me on the ground and plant flowers on me.
Deletehaha ruth-- you're too funny :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, glad you think so.
Deletehe must of been huge
ReplyDeleteAdam, He was over 900 pounds.
DeleteYep, another idiot that shouldn't write quotes for everybody to read.
ReplyDeleteAlex, I really wonder about people sometimes. Not just the writers, but also the people that think these are profound and share them all over. Then there's me that ruins it all. :)
DeleteI chuckled at Alessandra's comment - I'll second that!
ReplyDeleteHad the quoter maybe said something like "whether cremated, or buried in a box the big ticket stuff stays behind and so does the impression we left on people"… wow, how profound (not!)… hahahaha
I have very little and it'll probably fit in the urn with me… yup, that little! :)
Oh Jenny, you made me think of something Honeyman's grandpa used to say- If you stomped all the shit out of a Texan, you could bury what's left in a shoe box.
ReplyDeleteNot that you are full of shit. It just reminded me, that's all.
I cracked up - laughed out loud - made my wee dog freak… yup, that was funny.
DeleteOh, and so there's no mistake - my eyes are brown… I'm so full of it! hahahahahahha Good thing I'm buckled into my chair otherwise I'd be rolling on the floor. I once told a blogging friend that I had to have a seatbelt on my computer chair for all the times I would literally come across something so funny I'd fall off… this was one of those times.
Thanks for the laugh!
"In conclusion, I don't think the person that came up with this knew what the hell they were talking about."
ReplyDeleteYou just made my day. Thank you. :)
Dawn, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteIf it helps which it probably won't but maybe we don't have the same casket sizes but everyone is buried 6 feet under except for those like me who want to be cremated.
ReplyDeleteGossip_Grl, Six feet under being the same is what my daughter said too. HA!
