Things to do after you die

Yesterday, the town of Eastbourne, Sussex, awarded the freedom of the town to its oldest citizen who is 109. He will be 110 next month.

He was a mechanic on aircraft for the Royal Naval Air Service at the Battle of Jutland, and later in the RAF on the Western Front until the end of the 1914-18 war.

He was asked what his recommendations were for a long and fruitful life.

His reply:

"Cigarettes, good whisky and..."

He made the camera crew wait at least twenty seconds.

"...many wild, wild women."

He was presented with the scroll of his freedom and a bottle of his favourite Malt Whisky.

He has to move out on to the verandah for his cigarette...

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. :D :devil:
 
Seeings as only the good die young, then I plan on being shot to death at 104 by a jealous husband.

After that? We shall see where the ride takes me.

I am Irish to the core: If I knew where I was going to die, I'd never go near the place.

I can tell you what my best friend did after HE died though:

Hung around and sang lullabyes to my babies. Told my 18 motnh old how much he loved him, so that the first sentence my son ever spoke was "Shaun loves me, Momma."

Threw peanut butter jars at my head when I went through a shut-down phase and didn't eat for three days. Threw a potato at my husband for accusing me of throwing the peanut butter at myself.

Drives guests in my house crazy by stroking their hair while they sleep.

And every once in the while, when I really need it, manifesting at the foot of my bed and giving me long, emphatic lectures on how NOT to fuck up my marraige.

Drives my husband, a confirmed non-believer in the afterlife, completely batty trying to rationalize it. :D It's very hard to logically explain away a man who's NOT THERE sitting on the foot of your bed in nothing but unbuttoned jeans and purple bunny slippers.

That must be a sight. I gave up trying to explain away ghosts a long time ago. They're just stubborn souls who refuse to go away. Have to respect that. :D

He was stubborn in life too, lol. I am sure I'd miss him so much it would kill me, but he promised he wouldn't leave me, ever, for anything. He's the only man whose never broken a promise to me. :D There were a lot of reasons I loved him... that's just the biggest one.

Sounds like a motive to stick around. Also sounds like a stand-up guy. Good for him. Ghosts generally do have to have reasons, and apparently that was true of him.
