IF YOU DIE SUDDENLY,​

THE WORLD WILL NOT END​

Sorry, but that's the truth. Sure, you'll be missed for a while, but time does wonders for one's memory. And think of the benefits your family and friends will derive from your passing. Your loved one will have the whole bed to him or herself, a coworker will have one less person to compete against, and a friend will finally get his or her hands on your collection of bootleg Beatles tapes.

Write to the Hemlock Society for all their free pamphlets and brochures.

Uplifting eh?

To put into perspective your impact on this earth, go to a lake or ocean, put your finger in and hold it there for a few seconds. When you remove your finger, what kind of hole did you leave? After a few ripples subside, no one will ever know you were there.

Well said, Robert! Even if they happen to write your name down in a book, by the second revision it's all lies anyway. Dust in the wind doesn't seem too bad an end to me.....

Zoo, I figured a totally alternate approach. I collect all this crap floor to ceiling so it'll be a royal PITA for my niece and nephew to sift through and see if there's anything good here!
