PEOPLE USED TO DIE, OR PASS AWAY.

    The neighbor lady up the road here went off to push daisies, another neighbor told me. She was a garnder by trade.

    IN OTHER WORDS, HIJACKED?

    NOW THAT WOULD FIX OUR ECONOMY, PUT THE DEAD TO WORK.

    My favourite death euphemism (British) is "He popped his clogs."

    Poor Marsha, probably died from trying to live with a bag over her face all the time.

    In the Agelaide (Australia) Advertiser, the last page was Births, Deaths & Marriages. Or as we called it: The ;Hatch, match and dispatch' page. I found this little ditty: "Gabriel blew his trumpet, St. Peter banged his drum The pearly gates they opened and in walked mum'.

      Thanks for popping in Danny! I LOVE the "Hatch, Match & Dispatch" moniker! There's been a dearth of good obits recently. I guess no one interesting is choosing to leave!
