ALM>> one example that comes to mind was a reply from someone to
 ALM>> bob about his aunty croaking. 

 BL> Thank you for your senitive treatment of a difficult subject.

 ALM> Gee Bob, that's the first time anyone's noticed my sensitive
 ALM> side. 

  I can't imagine why that would be...

 ALM> BTW did she leave you any money?

  I was nice to her for 50 years and what did I get... bugger all.
Just for that, no more Mr Nice Guy.

 ALM> It's about time for a YAK and I thought it might be nice if you
 ALM> shouted, after all, you can't take it with you.

  If I can't take it with me, I'm not going.

 BL> Croaked! Kicked off! Carked it. Fell out of her tree. These are
 BL> much more suitable than that totally unfeeling "passed on."

 ALM> Passed on? to where? I thought she carked it!

  I'm not sure to where she passed on. That's the disadvantage of not
being a committed Christian; anything at all will be a total surprise.

 ALM> BTW be sure to let us know if you 'pass on', I'd like to make
 ALM> your mum an offer on the computer and the skyline. 

  The way I drive, I may pass on while passing a semitrailer.

  I pulled the right rein not converting to Catholicism on my death
bed. It was a close-run thing! I could have blown my free ticket to
heaven. It's a worry. You have to be very careful not to convert
before you actually die, or you could end up a bloody live Catholic
sinning all over the place, like they do.
