It wasn't the cough that carried him off,
It was the coffin they carried him off in.

On a more serious note,mainly because the best jokes have all gone(geddit).
I've never understood funerals much less peering into coffins at dead people.
My family are under instruction that if they have a funeral I'll come back and haunt them.
Much better a knees up and dispose of the remains quietly and unceremoniously(or even uncemetryiously),and if anyone puts my name on a plaque,headstone,bench or any similar edifice or garden resting place they're definitely in for some serious haunting :evil: .

A bodybag rather than a saddlebag.
I wonder if it would have who'd sewn it on a label on the inside so you could read it :shock: .
The plus for carradice* is that it'd only need a short warranty period :)

*thinks.........if the body was 'diced' it'd probable fit into a pair Super C's

No they have a special - mourner at the back and corpse strapped to the front ( or is it the other way around?)

any more jokes before this topic is put to rest?
