Welcome Dear Readers. I have a confession to make. Everyday I’ve got about one productive hour in me, everything else is mulling.
And because I’m so lazy, I’ve only got one item on my bucket list: death (the letter ‘d’ actually but I’ll remember).
Unfortunately, I’m at an age where if I died and somebody read about it in the newspaper instead remarking, “oh how sad,” they’d just say, “well she was getting up there.”
So I wasn’t surprised when this offer came in my mailbox from the Dammit Brothers Funeral Chapel for “My Final Wishes Organizer” . . . Absolutely free!
So here’s my answers to the Dammit Brothers Funeral Chapel Survey, which I’ve taken the liberty of tweaking just a little bit to make it more enjoyable in an attempt to make it up to myself for having such a sucky bucket list.
Dammit Brothers Funeral Chapel Survey
How much do you expect to pay for your funeral? 0-$2000, $2,000-$4,000, $4,000-$6,000, $6,000 – $8,000, $8,000-$10,000? Or over $10,000.
I’m not paying anything. Why else would I be dying?
Is there an honorably discharged veteran in your household? If not please explain.
Does unhonorably count? Because sometimes I hear someone ripping cardboard and smell the odor of Mark-a-Lot drifting through the air in the middle of the night and every once in a while I come upon a shopping cart in the living room, but, you know what? I’m still going to say no.
If so, was it within the last 12 months? The last 12-24 months? Or over 2 years ago?
I said no Dammit! Brothers!
Does your family have life insurance that is allocated for funeral arrangements in the event of your death?
They haven’t said anything about it. I think it’s a surprise.
If you have given thought to this subject which burial would you choose for yourself — burial or cremation?
I don’t know, I keep waffling. Is waffling an option?
Would you be willing to pay $500 extra to have the Brooklyn Bridge renamed after you once you’re, you know . . . ?
You mean once I’m dead?
Yeah that.
I guess.
Are you sure there’s not a discharged Veteran in your household? Did you look under the bed?
Dammit Dammit Brothers! NO!
Are your loved ones and family members aware of what you desire for your own arrangements?
Of course. They know I love Burger King and felt what else do they need to know?
How important to you, personally, is the location of the funeral home?
It’s important to me personally that it be located right next to a Burger King or a store that sells felt.
Are you absolutely certain you don’t have a veteran in your household?
You know what? I’m getting pretty tired of your stupid survey, Dammit Brothers.
Okay, but we hope you know that by getting tired of our stupid survey you’re forfeiting your “My Final Wishes Organizer” . . . Absolutely Free!
But will I still get the Brooklyn Bridge named after me?
Only if you send The Dammit Brothers Funeral Chapel a cashiers check for $500 made out to the Dammit Brothers.
Okay.
Do you promise? Cross your heart? Hope to die? Stick a needle in your eye?
That depends. How much are the needles?
$7.50 a piece.
How about two for a dollar.
Mmmm . . . Okay sure.
Will you throw in a “My Final Wishes Organizer” too?
We’ll have to go talk to our supervisor. Wait here . . .
Well, Dear Readers, it looks like negotiations are going to be going on for a while so you might as well sneak out for lunch. Hey if you happen to be going by a Burger King . . . well no never mind, I’ve got a bag of peanuts in my felt purse. Wish me luck!
Until next time . . . I love you

are there any Dammit sisters? and hey can you get me a burger too?!
Yes! The Dammit Sisters work at Burger King. I think can get them to give us some free food! They’re really nice dammit.
Awsome and when they die from the junk food, they have their brothers to take care of things dammit
Yes. Dammit those Dammits are so handy to have around!
it almost makes me want to be one dammit!
I know! Dammit, I wish they’d adopt us!
maybe we can just sneak in they’d never know dammit
Yeah! Those admits would be too busy writing in their last wishes journals to even notice us, I’ll bet!
you know it!
:D!!
Well dammit they sure are determined to find anyone who’s a discharged veteran! just tell them there’s one and tell them you’ll point him out AFTER they fold 2000 origami stars! 😉
Oh what a deliciously diabolical idea! That’ll get those dammit brothers!
Is one of the Dammit Brothers named Janet? I think I dated her one time. It’s hard to concentrate on making love when your partner keeps asking about veterans.
Oh I think I’ve heard of Janet Dammit. She’s got quite a reputation both hear and abroad. I don’t think there’s anything she wouldn’t do for our country!
As someone who is playing this game yet again, funeral insurance is an excellent idea.
One less thing to worry about.
You should request to be cremated, then have your ashes mixed into your favorite batter, then turned into waffles.
It could be like communion, but with a side of Burger King!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. And you’re right, we should all have funeral insurance.
And I love your idea about being waffled. And then maybe frisbee-d into the sea?
Those guys have been after you for years…they just won’t give up…. I thought you sent their brochure back saying deceased…….. oops that’s why they revved up their pitch…. but wait a minute if they think your’re dead how are you supposed to complete the survey….. my little brain ‘Pickles’ is very confused…. I think I’ll go to Burger King…. Diane
Ahaha! Now Pickles makes a very good point. Tell Pickles to drive through Burger King and order a hamburger with pickles as a reward, my treat!! (How does Pickles feel about felt?)
Pickles feelings about ‘felt’ are somewhat lacking but he wishes you all the ‘felt’ you can get your hands on! Personally he prefers ‘cashmere’.! ah… is blogging driving us crazy or what …lol Diane
Ahaha! Well I don’t blame Pickles for preferring cashmere! But for some reason Peanuts is a felt fanatic. Go figure . . . Oh and you are so right Diane! Blogging is driving us crazy!! But it keeps us young — somewhere around age 8, I’d say! LOL!
I think it’s a scam; you can never be too careful about on line surveys, you know.
So true, Ronnie! But unfortunately they sent it to my house addressed to me! I’m surprised they didn’t attach a plastic card with my name on it for 10% off my next burial. 😀
