Best Obituary?
Scotty MacDuffer passed away.
Widow MacDuffer visits the local paper to place an obituary.
Of course she first asks, “How much is this gonna cost me?”
The editor tells her you pay by the word.
Widow MacDuffer says “Ok, how about ‘Scotty MacDuffer died’.”
Sadly, editor informs her there is a seven word minimum.
After a moment of intense concentration, Widow MacDuffer says, “Scotty MacDuffer died. Golf clubs for sale!”
For those that missed my Chick Fil A thread this morning..this story is worth reading, too. Another human interest story of a person who does not let adversity stand in his way..at the age of 17

I thought that kinda “slipped” that one mistakes. Will Katie Jenner life to 100 years?
The man had kids ranging from 33 to 8 when he died at 67.
What a coincidence. In Minnesota Ole dies and the wife, Lena doesn't’ want to spend too much on an obit.
The paper guy gave Lena 5 free words.
Lena said put: Ole died, boat for sale.
Them Lutterin’ Norsk-veegians.
People of few, but powerful words!
I’m sure Sven spent a few quiet hours ice-fishing on Pelican Lake...
Funny, to me it sounds like the life I always intended to live - if life itself hadn’t gotten in the way.
Fun drop down at the sites link, “GIRLS”
You never really live the life you plan....you do what you can do.
Yeah, I’d like to go out with people saying “Dang girl, you done it all” rather than me sitting in a rocker saying “Well heck, I coulda done that” .... sorta like that last scene in Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens riding that H Bomb ... YeeHa!!!
Sometimes you have to pay a little extra to get the care you want.
My friend Lou Casimir was a retired English Professor from Bucknell University and had quite a sense of humor. He visited me in the morning and as usual had his excellent sense of humor. He went home, wrote his own obituary and died that same day.
Here is his obituary as printed in the newspaper and read by Click & Clack on Car Talk.
LEWISBURG - Louis J. Casimir Jr. bought the farm Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004, having lived more than twice as long as he had expected and probably three or four times as long as he deserved.
Although he was born into an impecunious family, in a backward and benighted part of the country at the beginning of the Great Depression, he never in his life suffered any real hardships.
Many of his childhood friends who weren’t killed or maimed in various wars became petty criminals, prostitutes, and/or Republicans.
He survived three years overseas in an infantry regiment in excellent health, then university for four years on the GI bill, and never thereafter had to do an honest day’s work.
He was loved by good women, had loyal friends, and all his children were healthy, handsome and bright.
For more than six decades, he smoked, drank and ate lots of animal fat, but never had a serious illness or injury.
His last wish was that everyone could be as lucky as he had been, even through his demise was probably iatrogenic.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Judy.
He is survived by his brother Jack of Houston, Texas; and his children, Randall Kent of Brunswick, Ga., Louis John III (Trey) of Lewisburg, Thomas Bettis of Lewisburg and Edith Austin Wheat of Austin, Texas.
Lou was a daredevil: his last words were “Watch this!”
A memorial service and barbecue will be held on Labor Day at Lou’s place.
Donations may be made in Lou’s memory to the Union County Public Library, 205 Reitz Blvd., Lewisburg, PA 17837.
Funeral arrangements were by Shaw Funeral Home, Milton.
Editor’s note: This obituary was provided by the family.

Hey, nothing wrong with having some fun... I dressed up in a wig and fancy dress for a Cub Scout Halloween Party as a member of the Budweiser Women’s Pool Team (for those who remember the commercial)... with a natural ZZ Top beard down to my navel and a cue stick.
I enjoyed the obit.Guy was obviously a good man, a nut and quite a guy.I would have liked to have met him
“The man had kids ranging from 33 to 8 when he died at 67.”
His wife might have been glad to see him go.
You really don’t get humor, do you.
Love it.

The head of the club raised a toast, turned to the corpse and said: Here’s to Gerald! By the way Gerry, you look like shit today!
