My little poem? Can't take that much credit... it's the notorious "Hearse

The Hearse Song
Have you ever thought
when the hearse goes by,
That you may be
the next to die?
They wrap you up
in a big white sheet
and then they bury you
six feet deep
Things are OK
for about a week
but then your coffin
begins to leak
Your eyes cave in
Your hair falls out
the worms begin
to crawl about
The worms crawl in,
the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle
upon your snout.
They eat your eyes,
they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly
between your toes.
And a big green worm
with rolling eyes
Crawls in your stomach
and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns
a slimy green,
And pus pours out
like whipping cream.
You spread it on
a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat
when you are dead.

It's a real day-of-the-dead cheer-u-upper, I sing the lite version to my
kids when we see a funeral parade...

Well, give me a bit of credit. Even though I was not aware of the
history of this 'poem' I was still able to discern that it was a poem, and
why couldn't you have written it? I can rip out poems like that at a rate
of maybe twenty a day (I'm serious).....

No, it really IS six feet.
At least, officially.
It comes from the same set of measurements as the "two by four" and

OK, Walter, I will not argue about this because I am not an authority on
the depth of human graves, and am willing to admit I got my information
second-hand. A few years back I got into a mild dispute in this newsgroup
with a Mr. Heneghen concerning the Richter scale reading of the Anchorage
earthquake which took place back in the early sixties. I thought the quake
was an 8.2 or thereabouts, possibly even lower. Heneghen claimed it was
9.2, if my memory serves me right. Anyway, we went back and forth with this
debate until finally I went to my trusty World Almanac and looked it up.
They listed it officially as an 8.7 (again, if my memory serves me right).
But, Mr. Heneghen did not accept the authority of The World Almanac and
directed me instead to an internet site which proclaimed the quake a 9.2 on
the Richter scale. In other words, even the word of 'authority' could not
be trusted to solve our earthquake dispute, because there were too many
authorities involved, and even these authorities seemed to be in dispute.
Thus, we were forced to compromise on the matter, which was fine with me.
However, we don't need authorities or experts to handle our minor
dispute concerning the depth of human graves. We can find out for
ourselves. Maybe we can meet up some night at the cemetary of your choice
(I'll bring the shovels), and simply dig up a bunch of graves and measure
the depth for ourselves. You say human graves are six feet deep. I have
heard they are five feet deep. But it wouldn't surprise me if they were
only four feet deep, assuming that graveyard workers are just as lazy and
unethical as people in most professions. Anyway, I'll bring the picks and
shovels and you can bring the measuring stick. Then we can proceed to dig
up a few graves and take the measurements ourselves. Not only will we
settle our dispute without turning to useless authorities or experts, we can
get a good physical workout at the same time. I hear that digging graves is
great for the back muscles and also gives the abs a really good workout, at
the same time producing a good healthy aerobic sweat.

noses, or at leash the toffee. Are you so insecure that you can't tell
the difference between a joke and a poke? No one said you were an
idiot - prolly dint half too.
Here, let me 'splain it to you.
See, the 2 x 4 is now down to 1 3/4 x 3 3/4... and the one-pound can
of coffee now contains 12 ounces (in case you've forgotten or were
never so informed in the first place, a pound is nominally 16 ounces,
see?).
So based on those (and other similar "new measurement" measurements),
it's reasonable (and jokeworthy) to suppose that a six-foot grave is
now five feet in depth, ya reckon?.
See? Joke? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Know what I mean? Know what I
mean? Are you a sport?

You're the guy who is overly sensitive, 'Walther', because if you'll
examine the contents of this post exchange you will note that you spelled
your own name incorrectly. Check it out. And, as for me being a sport,
you're damned right I am. I thought my post was reasonably funny and was
sure you'd see it that way. Also, as far as grave depth is concerned,
suppose the body is buried raw (not in a casket). Even if the carcass is
buried six feet deep, over time the earth above the grave will sink and
ultimately the distant between the body and the top of the earth will
shrink. I once read that rubber tires cannot be buried because they rise up
out of the earth, which is why old worn-out tires are thrown into waste
dumps and not graves. Therefore, also, if a person is buried wearing rubber
garments it is possible over time that the body will rise from six feet down
all the way up to the surface of the earth. So, you see, there really is no
definitive answer when it comes to grave depth.

Uhm. That's actually 1 1/2" x 3 1/2 inches for a 2x4.
Really.

No. Someone said he was an inventor. Another said he served in a war
as a medic (which I have not been able to confirm). I am just forwarding

I don't even know the guy everyone's talking about, but sometimes the
tactics people use (and I'm not talking about you), are very common and so
obvious that they insult the intelligence. People do this all the time.
"Did you know the guy was a Nazi sympathizer", or, "Did you know he was a
racist", or, "Did you know he was a wife-beater" - as if being any of these
things automatically precludes a person from being good at anything, or even
making helpful contributions in some way to those he knows personally or
even to mankind as a whole. I don't mind the information at all, if that's
all it is. But, realistically, let's admit that usually when this sort of
information is brought forth it is done in an attempt to dismiss any
positive contributions the person might otherwise have made. It's a cheap
tactic, and I'm not saying you used it, but a lot of people do use it, most
of the time effectively, and that bugs me. That's all I'm saying.

racist", or, "Did you know he was a wife-beater" - as if being any of these
things automatically precludes a person from being good at anything, or even
making helpful contributions in some way to those he knows personally or
even to mankind as a whole. I don't mind the information at all, if that's
all it is. But, realistically, let's admit that usually when this sort of
information is brought forth it is done in an attempt to dismiss any
positive contributions the person might otherwise have made. It's a cheap
tactic, and I'm not saying you used it, but a lot of people do use it, most
of the time effectively, and that bugs me. That's all I'm saying.

I don't even know the guy everyone's talking about, but sometimes the
tactics people use (and I'm not talking about you), are very common and so
obvious that they insult the intelligence. People do this all the time.

Well, let's face it, grave depth can vary. A killer on the run with a
body in the trunk of his car isn't about to waste time digging a six foot
hole. He puts his victims in a shallow grave, or even into a suitcase in
his closet (ala Ira Einhorn).......I want my grave to be as shallow as
possible so that wild animals can smell my rotting carcass, dig it up and
gnaw it into smithereens.

Harold von Braunhut died on Nov. 28 at the age of 77.
Braunhut was known for his wild inventions that used
to be sold in the back of comic books items like
the "Amazing Sea Monkeys," and the "X-Ray Specs."
Not too many people know this, but when he was a medic in Vietnam, he also
invented the body bag. The irony of this is that when the paramedics came to
pick him up, they didn't have one. So the inventor of the body bag was taken to
the morgue wrapped in a plastic sheet.
The body was identified with a pair of X-Ray Specs. There were several
Sea Monkeys in attendance at his funeral.

Taking a ***** is the ultimate lesson in 'give and take'. You are sad to
see your ***** go, yet you are happy as it exits your ***** and plops
majestically into the toilet. Taking a ***** is the ultimate love/hate
relationship - but the love far outweighs the hate - and this is because as
long as you continue to eat you know there is always more where that came
from. ***** is the ultimate recycled product. Your ***** was once your food,
but now it is food for something else. Never despair as your turd departs
your ***** and is flushed away into the sewer. Turds never die. In fact,
turds are the food of life. The other day I took one of the most impressive
shits of my life, one long swollen turd that swirled into the bowl of the
toilet. I gazed at it lovingly, then bid it adieu as I hit the flusher and
sent it on it's merry way into the sewer. I thought of taking a photograph
of it, I was so proud, but then I deciced, "No, a photograph is an image of
the past." Why should I relegate this living thing of beauty to the past,
much as a newly married man might keep a photograph of his ex-wife in his
wallet? This is an insult to the turds of the future. Let it go. Live in
the moment. Take your ***** and enjoy it. Give your ***** and enjoy it.
Take and give - give and take. This is the only way to live.

My name is Mr. *****, but I know quite a bit about body odor as well. If
you go three days without bathing or showering your body will tend to take
on an offensive odor. However, if you ignore bathing or showering for weeks
or months, a hard shell of filth will encase your body and hold the stench
within. Yes, this is true. There was a time when I lived in Hollywood
California and I would pass this truly cruddy street bum nearly every day.
He looked bad, real bad. He was covered in filth so thick that it was
black. His tattered shirt was always open, revealing a belly so covered in
filth so thick that it was black, almost like tar. Every time I passed this
guy I would make a point of not inhaling. Then one day I decided to see for
myself just how bad this guy smelled. I walked past him breathing in as
deeply as I could, trying to catch a whiff of his stench. I smelled
nothing. I turned around and took a second attempt at catching a whiff of
his stench. Again - nothing! I knew then that this guy was covered in
filth so hard and strong that it armored his body. The real stench was
contained within the armor of filth that covered his body. Most people take
showers so they won't smell. However, if this guy would have taken a shower
it would have brought the stench out from under the protection shell of
filth that held his true stench tight to his pores. There is a point where
the body ceases to stink, where it becomes so engulged with filth that the
stench is hidden beneath the filth, much as the pudding is contained within
the crust of a pie.

Very true, and very astute. Also, think of the joy a bottled up fart
feels when a massive turd is moved out of it's way. Have you ever noticed
how farts tend to squeak weakly out of your ***** when you still have a
turd in your system? Once the turd is released the farts are free to sing
their happy songs. I have heard it said that humans learned music by
listening to the birds. But I wonder if birds did not first learn their
music by listening to human farts. I have never heard a bird fart. I am
sure that at one time in history birds sat silent in the trees and listened
to people farting around the fireplace, and over time they took the Music of
The Farts and learned to sing it through their beaks.
