I don't really know how to reply to such a munificent response, but I do thank you so much for it.<br /><br /><b>Kass</b><br />Thanks for the comment. It's pleasing that you enjoyed the joke.<br /><br />I don't think you missed anything. I simpy had the thought that I would like to end on a slightly ambiguous/metaphysical note. Guess I just made it confusing. I may revisit it at some time in the future. Thanks again.<br /><br /><b>kaykuala</b><br />My guess - which is no more any other person's - is that he arranged it all before he died.<br /><br /><b>haricot</b><br />Thanks. Glad you think so.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />Yes, that's very much as I thought about it. Thank you for voicing it.<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />Interesting that you found it surreal. That's probably taking it a tad further than my own thinking went - though I am quite comfortable with it. The metaphysical end, s noted above, was intended, though.<br /><br /><b>anthonynorth</b><br />Thanks for the confirmation. Very helpful.<br /><br /><b>Monika</b><br />Hi, a warm welcome to you and my thanks for your comment. Really good to have it.<br /><br /><b>Gerry</b><br />Yes, I was in one recently, the memory surfaced just at the right moment. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>jabblog</b><br />I find this a most delightful comment. Thank you for it.<br /><br /><b>Eileen</b><br />I must admit that I do like the idea of it! I am sure it could be arranged as well. I might try the joke shop in the High Street.... Thanks for your thoughts.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />I think he would have settled for your assessment! Thanks.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily</b><br />Thanks so much for these kind words. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>Jyoti</b><br />Hi! Really good to have you visiting. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

If in life they were a larger than life character, then our expectations of them in death are equally high.
