Maybe when I hear the collective groan and sigh that erupts the world over after this farce has ceased to be, I’ll come out and stick a pressure hose in my ear and turn it on to full blast to rid my mind of any remnant of this absurd tragedy-turned-media-phenomenon.

Bravo!! Bravo!!! A 9.8 for imagery and vitriol (non-cussing category)

However, I fear you will have to return to the shower when Il Papa’s imminent gathering to God comes. Prince Ranier appears to be circling the drain as well, so there’s a week of Grace Kelly-princess-fairy tale retrospectives to not look forward to.

But you will have a clean bathroom 😃

How will you know she’s dead? Emitting a putrid odour could just be her way of communicating with her family. And look at her healthy green colour, whe wants to play with balloons!

Nah. You can be putrid and off-color and quite alive, based on the folk I’ve seen who presented at the ER. I tend to rely on the time-honored standards such as respiration and heartbeat. Absent both, you’re dead or pinin’ for the fijords.
