Who doesn’t think about death once they hit 60?

I can relate to what he is saying.
When you lose people close to you, you can't help but think about it.

When I first moved to the UK I did not really understand the humor of Monty Python on the Tele. After a few months in the UK and then understanding their humor I was a total fan of Monty Python and everything they did in movies. They were geniuses of humor and oddly highly educated in the extreme. Perhaps that was the source of their genius in comedy. They were smart people.

The pair wed in 1966 and were married for 57...“It does get better and it does adjust. And after two years now I feel I could think of Helen. I’m surrounded by her anyway. I’ve got photos."

God bless them. 57 years -- it must be so hard to lose your life's love after that time together. We just hit 43 years.

He’s leaving it to the People’s Front of Judea. Or was that to the Judean People’s Front?

I always get a kick from how many Monty Python fans there are at FR. They have never made me laugh. They are not funny at all. Only bit was good. The dead parrot pining for the Fjords

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Lyrics
[Intro]
Cheer up Brian, you know what they say?
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
And...

[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
Always look on the light side of life
(Whistle)
[Verse 1]
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly, chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that’s the thing
And...

[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle) (Come on!)
Always look on the right side of life
(Whistle)

[Verse 2]
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it’s your last chance anyhow

[Chorus]
So always look on the bright side of death
(Whistle)
A-Just before you draw your terminal breath
(Whistle)
[Verse 3]
Life’s a piece of shit (Oooh)
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s the joke, it’s true (Oooh)
You’ll see it’s all a show (Oooh)
Keep ‘em laughin’ as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you (Oooh)
And...

[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
Always look on the right side of life
(Whistle) (C’mon Brian, cheer up!)

[Outro]
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
(Worse things happen at sea, you know?)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle) (What have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You’re going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
(Nothing will come from nothing
You know what they say?)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Cheer up, ya old bugger
C’mon, give us a grin!
There y’are, see?) (Whistle)
(It’s the end of the film)
(Incidentally, this record is available in the foyer)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Some of us got to live as well, you know?) (Whistle)
(All right, that’s the lot, let’s get this place knocked down
The whole show’s dismantled in three weeks
Who do you think pays for all this rubbish?)
Always look on the bright side of life
(They’ll never make their money back, you know
I told ‘im, I said to ‘im, “Bernie,” I said, “they’ll never make their money back.”) (Whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life

“But I don’t dwell on mortality. I dwell on life.”...

Good attitude.

“I do think about death, and the family are rather wonderful about it: ‘Have you made a will? Can I be in your will?’”

Am I the only one who thinks saying this to someone is rather presumptuous? I might write someone out of my will just for asking this of me.

My wife and I really have enjoyed Monty Python over the years.

Such talent, humor, and political incorrectness!
