When I heard the news that Jesse Helms had died, I remembered this joke from comedian George Wallace
"You ever see on the news when they say: So-and-So died an untimely death today?

"What the heck does that mean....an UN timely death....I'm asking you: what kind of DEATH is TIMELY, that's what I want to know. That's such a dumb thing to say, an "untimely death"....

"You wanna know what I wanna hear? Here's the news I wanna hear:

" 'Jessie Helms died today and it's about goddamn time.' "--Comedian George Wallace

I still remember when he said it. He said it about 15 years ago. LOL!

2. Sorry to say - when I heard the news, I smiled.
Now there's one grave I wouldn't mind peeing on. Make the grass turn brown. Maybe I'll bring my dog...

5. I understand salt is pretty good, too.
But there are pee spots on people's yards all over the neighborhood. Lotsa dogs around here.

4. K&R
I fucking love it.

If you don't want people to 'dance on your grave' when you are dead, then live a life worthy of the no dancing policy.

But remember: "You can't please all of the people all of the time!" (in other words, someone is going to dance on your grave. Fact Of Life)

For every heinous piece of shit human being that dies, I suspect there is someone out there that mourns their passing. Even if it is their cat. And I love cats.


Grave Dancing
from an atheist perspective

You can dance on my fucking grave all you want.
I won't be here.
I won't be there.
I won't be anywhere.
So why the fuck would I care?
