Wile E. Coyote

The Wile E. Coyote death. That might be what I need someday. Not that I'm particularly eager for my inevitable demise, but it could make things interesting for those left behind. Most funerals are depressing, dull, and ordinary. That's because most of us (including me) are pretty dull and ordinary. Wouldn't it be nice to have a funeral where everyone was there to mourn you, but also exchanged WTF glances across the room?

I can imagine the eulogy:

"Chris was a loving father and devoted husband. He will be missed by his friends and family. Although we may never know why he chose that day, of all days, to wear roller skates to work, it does not change the fact that he was a man who had a special place in the hearts of those who knew him well. Many may be questioning why Chris was taken from us, and they may also be questioning why he strapped that rocket to his back, but we must take comfort in the fact that a higher power was at work and have faith that the consequences of his actions that day will serve a higher purpose. We know that Chris' death has brought renewed attention to train tunnel safety standards. We know that there have already been indictments handed-out to executives of Acme, Inc. And we hope to soon know where the piano came from.

Rest assured that he is now in a better place, and he got there at land speeds never before reached by man."
