Small town obituaries...

I'm 99.897% certain i'm going to burn in hell for my latest source of giggles.

Lately my stepmom and I have taken to reading the local obituaries each evening.

It started while she was scanning early in the week and started cracking up laughing.

"You've got to hear this, I hope my obit is this good" my stepmom says...

*reading out lout*

"She loved to shop, especially for shoes. "

Ok, i've got a serious addiction to yummalicious shoes, but in an obituary? Awesome.

The best tear-producer of the week...





There was never a stranger in xxx's life. He made such beautiful music with his saxophone that friends requested he entertain at many area churches, bringing peace and tranquility at solemn moments and entertaining at many other gatherings. He always was willing when asked to play. He will be a great addition to heaven's orchestra.

Family was one of the most important parts of his being. He loved to try to beat his sister, brother and father on the tennis court and always had great stories of his victories, whether he won or not. He also was an avid bike rider and tried to keep a riding date with his brother when time allowed.



--He will be a great addition to heavens orchestra? That is an *awesome* line, but I have to wonder if it's original or if there is a small town quotes for obituaries book floating around somewhere.



I'm just used to seeing xxx died on xxx, he is survived by xxx and xxx, his funeral arrangements are xxxx.

It's incredibly odd to get a glimpse into their lives and see what people felt compelled to say. I do feel bad for laughing hysterically at some of them, once the giggles start they just escalate.

They would be comforted knowing that our belly laughs are helping to reduce stress and extend our lives right?

Get my room in hell ready, i'll be the coolest cat there!
