Close to Home by John McPherson for January 02, 2016

Goin’ out in style! Kind of like the avid trap shooter whose friends loaded his ashes into shotgun shells and shot him all over lots of trap ranges.

Reasonably funny concept, McPherson, but how long would it have taken you to google who actually WAS the Gold Medalist in the 1932 “Bobsleigh” (as it was called in that era)? I was disappointed when I looked it up.

That one woman is certainly pleased. Not really the best emotion to have during a funeral!

It was a luge funeral.

At first sight I thought it was the inventor of the baggage carousel.

OK I think this idea for a funeral is genius!

Never mind all that, what was his time?

Never mind. He finished dead last . . .

That is SLICK

Nice that he’s conveniently already on ice.

“You dead Sanka?”“Ya mon.”

His nickname was Bob.

Voortman? Didn’t he also make cookies?
