My second wife had the brilliant idea of turning corpses into ashes then incorporating the ashes into bricks to build a memorial to the deceased, or into clay to fashion a bust of the deceased. I thought it was brilliant, anyway..

My first business was a jewelry shop. A woman brought in a really nice wedding set. She wanted it made into a nugget with the diamond set in it. She said she was divorced and she wanted it so she could spit on it anytime she wanted. There wasn’t even a shade of humor about her.

This brings up a question of etiquette, is it appropriate to present your second wife with an engagement diamond made of the first witch’s ashes?

I’ve told my Son that when I die, I went to be made into a bunch of small, headless nails. He is then to go around and tap these into benches in public places. That way, I can still be a pain in the ass to people even after I’m dead.

Proof that I am right! I am really worth more dead than I am alive.

I read about this a few years ago. Since then, I have been telling everyone that I want to be a diamond when the time comes.

I can see a “made for TV” movie in here, somewhere.

Flashy bimbo “gold-digger” marries rich old sugar-daddy, poisons him and has the body cremated. Ashes to Diamond....several times.

Bimbo now trolling Vegas, Plam Springs and the Rivera in low cut evening dress, wearing her (in)famous “multi-hued blue diamond” necklace.

She is finally caught by an especially talented team: Columbo’s son, Poirot’s granddaughter and Miss Marple (she never gets any older).

Always thought my spouse is a “diamond in the rough”.

Wonder when the celebrities will make this into something “it’s all about me”?

Old C&W song:

“Old Chunk of Coal” was written by Shaver, Billy.

I’m just an old chunk of coal
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I’m gonna grow and glow ‘til I’m so blue, pure perfect
I’m gonna put a smile on everybody’s face

But I’m gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest I should become vain along the way

I’m just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I’m gonna learn the right way to talk
I’m gonna search and find a better way to walk

I’m gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
Until I get rid of every single flaw

I’m gonna be the world’s best friend
I’m gonna go around shakin’ everybody’s hand

I’m gonna be the cotton-pickin’ rage of the age
Yes, I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I said, “I’m just an old chunk of coal, my Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day”

There’s maybe 10-15 kilos of carbon in a body. I’m not sure how much of that ends up in the ashes.

A BIG 5-carat diamond weighs a gram.

Its ridiculous to send all the remains for this process. I’m not sure I trust it any most than paying to “name a star”.

Sorry, but this just creeps me out on so many levels.

And it doesn’t surprise me that this is happening in Switzerland, the land of euthanasia clinics.
