Guest Patrokles Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 One of the pleasant consolations of death is that none of that really matters any more, though. Not to you. In the seconds before dying, there will be mortification (no pun intended), but once you've popped it, you're not going to care who sees your filthy undergarments. I can't see me being that arsed about the state of my kegs if I suddenly felt on the verge of death. I can just see the coroner going into his dictaphone "The deceased appears to have collapsed on the landing and dragged himself through to the bedroom, finally passing in front of a chest of drawers. It is unclear exactly why he did this, although it seems reasonable to assume that he was trying to change his underwear, which to be perfectly honest is a fucking disgrace." Well, that was just an example. But there are numerous things that I assume one would think if they knew they were about to die; stuff they should have sorted out, things they wanted to say, porn they had to delete off their PC, etc. But then once it's over, then really it's all cool. I mean, not for the people who are still alive who knew you, but personally, things are good. Yeah, you're dead. Things just couldn't be better. If it would mean no more of those bloody razzes from you, I'd be THRILLED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coroner's more likely to say: "He's ginger, probably committed suicide as a result..." tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 All the time. Its one of life's paradoxes that a deep awareness of your mortality is the natural by-product of having thought about what it means to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
