Two men, two very different burials.

So Ted Kennedy dies on August the 25th and will be buried four days later.

Michael Jackson dies on June 25th and will be buried.....um, yeah.

I suppose there's something to be said for being two parts natural, one part artificial - your 'best before' date can be pushed out.

Ooooooooh. So bad, and yet, so funny.

I'm going to be haunted, or just sent straight to hell.

Oh, you are a one, all right. But you're forgetting that while Kennedys may not be plastic, they still come previously pickled.

Either way, I'll be hearing about the both of them in the news far longer than I want to, meh.

Ted's life does make for a ripper yarn though, doesn't it ?

Only a Kennedy could've gotten away with it. There's a reason they're called "America's Royalty," and it's not because they're a class act.

And what is it about the whole curse thing ? Why do they have an uncanny knack of not making it past their forties?

It's God's blessing for the rest of us? They have such enormous noggins that no one can miss when they're shot at? Tertiary syphilis? Karma? Take your pick.

For my final answer, I think I'll have to go with Radiohead: "You do it to yourself, you do, and that's why it really hurts, you do it to yourself, it's true, you and no one else, you do it to yourself..."

HAH!

(Guess that means you'll be in the cell beside mine in hell, then?)

Oh yeah, my deposit has been accepted and my reservation has been confirmed.
