Perfectly pickled and petrified.

Exactly. At least they didn’t have to embalm him.

She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here.Maybe had he not drunk 21 cocktails, maybe he would still be here.

Obligatory thoughtless comments:
"At least he died doing something he loved." "Play stoopid games, win stoopid prozes."

There’s another thread about Americans being exceptionally stupid.
This is an example that belies such exceptionalism.

Bury him in Jamaica. That would be a reason for the clan to make a pilgrimage to his grave. It could also spur a competition !
Only 12 !?! I’ll do 13 or die !

The American Red Cross now teaches chest compressions only. I agree with you, and frankly had they tried mouth to mouth about the only thing the would be rescuer would have gotten is a mouthful of vomit.

'She only gave him chest compressions. Current CPR teaching is that the rescue breaths are optional.

I accidentally wrote it backwards, which seems oddly appropriate here.

There’s another thread about Americans being exceptionally stupid. Brits will always top that, especially the soccer fans, when playing abroad.

“She only gave him chest compressions.”
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But we know, it’s his own damn fault.
PS. Did they find a shaker of salt nearby?

I’m surprised. Per the photo in the article the late gentleman looked very serious and sober-minded

That’s the kind of nonsense you pull in your 20’s, not your 50’s.
I would never attempt the drinking game I played on 12/30/80. It involved shots of Jagermeister, and I stopped counting at 12. The most I imbibe now is perhaps a bottle of wine, usually with dinner.
