7. An old prof of mine used to say:
If you listen carefully enough, the answer resides inside the question.


I never did know the the hell that silly old bastard was talking about.

25. Like my father
at home, in no pain, with loved ones. Preferably at a ripe old age.

No tombstone for me. I want my ashes scattered on Lake Michigan, joining my father and brother. No need for a landmark for my tiny life.

It'll be enough if the obituary says I was a lot of fun and loved by many.

27. 95, in peace
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 10:32 PM by ih8thegop
ih8thegop, the nth President of the United States - considered one of the most dynamic Americans of the 21st Century - has died. He was 95.

"He was liberal in policy and personality," said Jane Doe, who served as the first female Vice President of the United States under ih8thegop and succeeded him to become the first female President. "His liberal policies improved the lives of millions of Americans and still more throughout the world, and his liberal personality just made everybody next to him feel important."
