Final Parting

Here lies the body of a memorable man Unfortunately, he passed while on the can We found his body beside his throne And buried him here with this headstone.

There was a burly coal miner who died in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales) after taking a crap and pulling the chain which brought down the cistern above his head killing him whilst flushing him down the bowl. So you can thank him for cisterns being attached to the bowl instead of overhead! Aloha!

Milton now you got me thinking. I wonder how many have perished in this final act of release. LOL. My comment shouldn't be funny but I really can't change what occurs in life, and this humorous write of yours doesn't help. lol.

Many, my friend, many. The most famous, of course, is Elvis Presley.

That seems to be the case, Jeff. Oh dear, I hope he flushed before he fell over. May have been his last thoughtful act!
