An 83-year-old Beverly man has died after suffering severe burns when his kilt caught fire while he was burning leaves and brush in his yard last week.

Another injury caused by Democrats blowing smoke up someone's skirt.

(I'll bet it was a gay Democrat at that!)

At 83 he is too old to win a Darwin award - at that point he either did already (’contribute’ to the gene pool) or he didn’t.

But really, burning leaves in a kilt? What could possibly go wrong?

The tartan are the colors of chicken parmesan... Yellow and white. It’s not a big seller.

Note to self. When burning leaves make sure there are at least two layers between the boys and the fire.

Second note to self. Inflammable not the same as nonflammable.

I know, it is horrible and I already slapped myself silly - yet I still snickered.

Ug, phonetic transliteration.

I attempted to read a novel about the Scottish highlands, but the author insisted upon transliterating the dialog phonetically.

I had enough of “Eh Donough, ye cumin in from de sterm?” to last a lifetime.

I feel for the lately departed loved one.

But it still doesn’t answer the question, “What does a Scotsman (?) wear under his kilt?”

Lordy, lordy. Tartans made out of asbestos become best sellers?

"Kilt him"

I fitting tribute it seems.

The graduate of Boston College and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine also had a dry sense of humor and “loved sharing puns and wordplay," the obituary said
