A parrot, a witch and two unicorns walk into a bar...

Ya'll have some good ideas. And though I am well aware of decomposition and how little importance our temporal body has in the grand scheme of things, I think preserving it would be my route. So Id keep it simple. I'm pretty sure I want a traditional funeral ceremony...but I would request of a few things; say, one request would be that my funeral be a funeral/talent show. Sorta like my wedding will be. And all my family and friends would have 1 to 3 minutes to entertain the guests after my eulogy, which would be given by either Steve Puente, Suvi or Ben Howell. Preferably Ben because he would probably forget its a eulogy and talk about the inner workings of pipe organs and their striking resemblance to the living body; which could technically be his talent for the funeral. The only other thing I would like is the first part of a joke on my tombstone. Like; a parrot, a witch and two unicorns walk into a bar..." and thats it. Just the first part of the joke. Or when my wife dies...the joke can continue on her tombstone. I think thats it.

so what's the punchline? I'm not going to wait for some mystical day when my bloggerverse compatriot dies to find out. I'm DYING HERE...

ninny, hhaha, I've been trying to finish this joke all week and I can't, my endings aren't that good. Maybe it will be a collaborative effort for when I pass away.
I think I have some time, but I'll keep trying.
