Poor guy. That’s so fucked up.

I hope the bastards choke to death on cheesecake.

Imagine the guy panicking as he tried in vain to suck oxygen through duct tape.

I am taking a take-home midterm for Financial Accounting this weekend using Sara Lee’s financial statements…I gotta work this into my answers.

The guy was very well known around town; well liked and influential. It was nice to hear all the people that called into local radio to share their memories.

I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, I promise.

Was he found in your grocer’s freezer?

I’m sorry, I’m going to hell too. ☹

They had to make a pot of coffee first? They didn’t want the frosting to stick?

(racing everyone else to hell, and winning.)

In the interests of posting a humorous reply, I searched the Sara Lee page and found this.

Will there be a viewing and, if so, will it be in the deli case?
