Whenever I go to Severance Hospital, I always smirk at this sign:
A hospital with a funeral home? Isn't this a bit like an eye doc that also sells frames? Or a doctor who also happens to own his own pharmacy and runs it out of his office? Whether the hospital heals you or kills you, it's a win for them. |

| I'd laugh at a "Severance" Hospital with an amputee ward, and then quickly cough and look around to make sure nobody saw. |

Well, sad to say, for whatever reason, people do die in hospitals.
I don't quite see the humor, but that's because my father in law died in a hospital and I spent 24 hours in the room the family rented at the funeral hall. It was pretty stressful. |

I fully expect my friends and family to tell jokes at my funeral.
I remember once I was flying to Korea from Seattle. It's cheaper if you fly Seattle to Vancouver and then take Air Canada to Seoul. Anyway, you take a little prop plane from Seattle to Vancouver. I was explaining the the little puddle jump to a woman on the airport van who was flying some place or another. This was shortly post-9/11. I kept calling the plane a "Buddy Holly jobber". At some point she stopped me and was like "why do you call it that?"
"Oh you know, like one of those planes that killed Buddy Holly."
"How can you tell jokes about that before a flight?"
"I don't know. Death is funny." |

| You think that's a conflict? There's a surgeon in Northern California with the surname of Shakin. |

Laugh at my funeral? Depends on what type. If I want it to be a wake, then they better be laughing it up, especially given how my luck goes and I fully expect to die in some ridicilous fashion.
The other way would be some sort of Viking funeral pyre, seriously, if I could do that, that would be cool. |

| To me it always seemed to show a lack of confidence more than anything else. |

Back when I worked as a Resident "Inter-faith" Hospital Chaplain (aka. Dr. Death) at the Toronto Hospital~ General Division & also the Hamilton-Wentworth Hospital, we would hang out with some of the Coroners and they had some really macabre stories that were really twisted. Morbid, yet funny. You would have really loved them Mindmetoo!  |
