How
Not to Start a Eulogy
“I lost
more than just a bet today…”
“Is it
me or does she look even hotter dead than when she was alive?”
“In a
way I blame myself. But not to the extent the authorities do.”
“This
is kind of ironic, considering that Shannon was always the life
of the party.”
“We all
knew this day would come. In fact, we had several months to prepare
for it, ever since Ted broke the news that he bought a pet bear.”
“Let
this be a lesson to all you kids. A gun is not a sex toy.”
“’Better him than me’ may sound like a callous
remark, but hear me out…”
“I don’t
believe this. She’s wearing the same dress as me.”
“Maura’s
death came as a complete surprise, especially after all those expensive
pilot lessons she took.”
“We all
know there’s nothing funny about suicide. But darn it if Pepito
the Clown didn’t try to prove us wrong.”
“I loved
him like a brother. But I fucked him like an uncle.”
“At least
Ben died doing what he loved most—getting into tense standoffs
with police.”
“I believe God has a purpose for almost everyone on earth.
And for those he doesn’t, he simply takes them back. Like
Phil here…”
“Man,
doesn’t anyone know how to perform autoerotic asphyxiation
properly?"
“Jen
is survived by several outstanding debts. Who will be attending
to those?”
“I don’t
look at this as an end but rather a beginning, both for me and whichever
new Mommy our children will have.”
“Doesn’t
Steve look just like himself? After all, he always did wear too
much foundation.”
“Why? Why do the good always die young, but a cocksucker like
Morty makes it to 93?”
“I don’t wish to speak ill of the dead. So instead I
direct the following remarks to Sid’s wife and kids…”
“If anyone else tries to contact Shelly through a Ouiji board,
let me know if she spells something other than ‘prick.’”
