My second wife had the brilliant idea of turning corpses into ashes then incorporating the ashes into bricks to build a memorial to the deceased, or into clay to fashion a bust of the deceased. I thought it was brilliant, anyway..

My first business was a jewelry shop. A woman brought in a really nice wedding set. She wanted it made into a nugget with the diamond set in it. She said she was divorced and she wanted it so she could spit on it anytime she wanted. There wasn’t even a shade of humor about her.

This brings up a question of etiquette, is it appropriate to present your second wife with an engagement diamond made of the first witch’s ashes?

I prefer no permanent memorial, just to be scattered into the Yellowstone River.

Probably depends on the circumstances. Might ask Miss Manners.

I’ve told my Son that when I die, I went to be made into a bunch of small, headless nails. He is then to go around and tap these into benches in public places. That way, I can still be a pain in the ass to people even after I’m dead.

Proof that I am right! I am really worth more dead than I am alive.

How technology has change everything. Fifty years ago they told us in school we were only worth a handful of change.

If they were talking about a hand full of old siver coins they most likely was right and the the way things are going they may soon be ‘REALLY’ right.

I read about this a few years ago. Since then, I have been telling everyone that I want to be a diamond when the time comes.

I can see a “made for TV” movie in here, somewhere.

Flashy bimbo “gold-digger” marries rich old sugar-daddy, poisons him and has the body cremated. Ashes to Diamond....several times.

Bimbo now trolling Vegas, Plam Springs and the Rivera in low cut evening dress, wearing her (in)famous “multi-hued blue diamond” necklace.

She is finally caught by an especially talented team: Columbo’s son, Poirot’s granddaughter and Miss Marple (she never gets any older).

Always thought my spouse is a “diamond in the rough”.

Wonder when the celebrities will make this into something “it’s all about me”?
