Yeah....don't bury me....plant a tree or something. I know exactly where I'll be scattered and it's got nothing even to do with the ground.

SLIGHT SIDETRACK: wtf do you say to everyone else (like the ushers and the bridesmaids) in a reception line? "Nice job walking and standing"? "Way to be friends with someone who got married"? At least you can congratulate the bride's and groom's parents.
Kiss my ass, kiss his ass, kiss her ass, watermelon-pineapple.

"How are you related to the bride/groom?" "Wasn't that a beautiful ceremony?" etc etc... That makes sense. I always just kind of smile and nod at them - dudes, it's not your wedding, really it's all about the happy couple. (It feels like congratulating the hot dog vendors when the team wins a game.) In the unlikely event that I get married, I'll want the reception line to be for the bride and I.

I usually say something like - sure glad this isn't a funeral, and when do you think we'll eat - that ceremony was waaaay to long.

That's why, after watching "127 Hours" I now TELL people when I'm hiking/biking alone, and where I am.
