Bury Me With My iPod, Please… Cell Phone, Too.

If being a macfan is not a psych condition, I don’t know what is.

Reminds me of the rich guy who wanted to be buried with his money. He had all his assets liquidated to cash and placed in the coffin with him.

The funeral directors are talking afterward. “It was a shame to bury all that money,” said one.

The other funeral director puts a box of bills on the desk. “We didn’t.”

“You didn’t just steal from the dead guy?”

“Don’t worry. I paid him back with a check.”

You can’t take it with you. If you are dead, then you don’t need an iPod or a Blackberry.

I asked on an earlier thread why we place so much effort on discarding our earthly shells.

Bury me with my Fender bass and my Ludwig drum set please

Apple fanboys don’t croak, they squeal like the pigs they are.

If the get buried with their iPhone who pays the monthly charges for continued service. I guess that’s covered by their will.

#10 If there’s a god, that’s a given.

Just goes to show you people won’t be caught dead using a Zune.

#14 What about an iTunes subscription to refresh the playlist every so often?

Now I could see being buried with one’s cellphone. Just in case they got the whole time of death thing, wrong. It harkens back to an age when funeral homes sold caskets with small bells mounted on them. So rich people, resting in crypts, could signal that they only had chronic narcolepsy, and hadn’t actually died. An extremely rare occurrence, that the casket salesmen exploited the fear of. The embalming process stopped people from waking up, ever.

And yet a recent episode of “Eleventh Hour” revisited this fear, and had some spring break teenagers waking up in a mortuary, after being pronounced dead. The cause was supposedly a NASA engineered virus that triggered suspended animation. Still hoping to make that mission to mars sound practical, eh? Bullsh*t, CBS.
