Eulogy

A friend of mine had a great perspective on funerals the other day. Now, I’m sure all of us are familiar with the eulogy that goes something along the lines of “We shouldn’t be sad that johnny’s dead, he died doing what he loved, he loved his job as a rodeo clown and thats how he would have wanted to go”

Well, I think that’s bullshit. If that happens to me, I want people to be truthful. “Sure, at the time of Mike’s death he was doing what he loved, he loved playing 2nd base for the Blue Jays but I sure bet if he had a choice he would’ve given that up to be jerking off a horse for $3 an hour if it meant he’d still be alive”.
