His head was still alive when it landed, snd he tried to cross the street, but a truck ran it over and he died. Moral of the story, quit while you are a head

No one has yet said “He died doing what he loved”, or something…..

He could have just choked to death trying to eat too much peanut butter.

Isn't it obvious?

The last thing to go through his head was an airplane wing.
