Okay, so you look for a rich chick who's into other women, best of both worlds.

Carpe diem!

First of all, I want my last words to be something other than, "Ow, my neck."

Second of all, the death of a co-worker can be difficult. It's a blunt reminder of our ultimate mortality and that, when all is said and done, most peeps spend their lives working to pay taxes and line the pockets of insurance companies, banks, and pharmaceuticals and, at the end of the day, have little to show for the effort.

So, it's important to find a way to turn this into a positive, Mr. BuckinKaeding. My advice at this point is that you quit your job, book a flight to Brazil, build a hut in the rain forest, make a bunch of little baskets out of grass and twigs, meditate over them to imbue your little baskets with the spirit of soggy earth and colorful insects, then export them for ten bucks apiece. Ten US dollars goes a long way in Brazil.

Once you're over 30 the random kicks in. Cancer, heart disease, brain tumor.

Tell your wife/gf/regular hooker that you love her and kiss the kids. Eat Arby's. Have a beer when you feel like it.

It's a part of geting older. All the new people coming in and the old leaving.

You make sense in the most morbid way.

Now I cant do any work. I'm just sitting here and I dont know what to do. Has this ever happened to you before?


Yes, many times I find myself just sitting there not knowing what to do!

Hog's Gone Fishin 09-26-2008 11:02 AM

I anticipate my last words will be...... Here, hold my beer and watch this!

if you said this about someone's dog, they would tell you to burn slowly in a fire.

The guy I replaced died at age 35 in his sleep. And last week a co-worker commited suicide. He was just in his late 20's. It's kind of bothersome considering our work group only numbers about 10 people.

I feel terrible at laughing at that article, but I did.

"George was always the first guy in each morning and the last one to leave at night."

No shit. HE WAS DEAD! HE NEVER LEFT THE FREAKIN' BUILDING! LOL

Mr. Plow 09-26-2008 01:07 PM
