I had been thinking how crazy but humorous in a sadistic way it would be to put wierd things in your Will/Living Trust to make your family do stuff. For instance, I’d have a ‘death mask’ made of my face after I died. I’d have it cast in bronze, and have my children mount it up on the mantle.
Friend: Hey, thats a pretty creepy ghoul mask. You going to wear that for Haloween?
Grandson: Oh no that’s my Grandpa up there
Friend: (runs off)
Or better yet, get myself Freeze-dried in a sitting position and make them keep me in their living room sitting on a chair so I can continue to hang out with them forever! (Hey people do that with their pets, and pets are family!)
Years ago I heard of a company that will take your loved one’s ashes and make them into ceramics. I keep tellingBluesman that I’m going to make him into a beer stein and an ice cream bowl, and that way we can still party together and eat ice cream in front of the TV together.
You can bet your ass that my perfectly preserved skull is going to be on the mantle of one of my children’s homes. That is, of course, assuming that my cause of death doesn’t involve my head being destroyed.
Okay, this is cool. I’d love to do what that guy did in The Testament- getting a team of psychologists to claim I’m sane, then taking out a new will that screws over my family, then finally leaping out of a building to my death, only I’m not that rich and I don’t have the guts.
But assuming I AM that rich, I’d like to do what that guy did- giving the money to any woman who had the most kids within ten years. I just like playing with people, and doing it after my death…well, that’d almost be like playing god. Which I am not adverse to doing.
But along different lines, i’d like a monument erected upon my death. I get freaked out thinking no one will know who I am after death.
