If you have more than you need, isn't that an over abundance?

Will they bury him in sections with tin foil on top?

Yes, but if the gravediggers read the instructions they will know to peel back the foil over the corns only....

It maybe stupid, but it is still an over abundance.

By definition having more than you need is an over abundance.

Your use of the word stupidity is no germane to the use of the words over abundance.

Besides he figuratively made lemonade out of lemons.

"We had the TV screen and the knobs pictured on the package. That was the real start of marketing," Thomas said.

I remember those packages! I think the package also included some 'wood grain' printing representing the TV cabinet.

Personal favorite: Meatloaf!

ZZ Top is deeply saddened.

TV dinners, there’s nothin’ else to eat.
TV dinners, they really can’t be beat.
I like ’em frozen but you understand
I throw ’em in and 'wave ’em and I’m a brand new man, oh yeah.

TV dinners, they’re goin’ to my head.
TV dinners, my skin is turnin’ red.
20-year-old turkey in a 30-year-old tin.
I can’t wait until tomorrow and thaw one out again, oh yeah.

TV dinners, I’m feelin’ kinda rough.
TV dinners, this one’s kinda tough.
I like the enchiladas and the teriyaki too,
I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue.

And they’re mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have ’em,
Gimme somethin’ now.
