In Switzerland, there's a clinic run by an organisation called Dignitas
which helps the terminally ill end their lives in a quiet, respectful, caring
way.
However, if you don't fancy something sombre and solemn, go next
door to Indignitas, where under the Big Top Circus Tent there are
clowns,
comedians, custard pies, buckets of whitewash and banana
skins, and after you've expired they fire you out of a cannon into a huge
tank of purple slime while singing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" to the
accompaniment of honking horns, raspberries and huge springs going
BOINGGGGG.

I wrote to the US Navy asking, should I die in the US
and be arranged by a cooperative undertaker into a
general Aeroplane shape, if I could possibly be
launched
from one of those lovely steam catapults they have.
The object was to see if I'd skim nicely. |

They never wrote back... but I'd have a go at that if I
were terminally ill OR dead. |

Could I change the song to something like 'Fish Heads?' |

"Awwww... Look at Glenn... Your face. On the scrap heap at the tender age of 76, it's no life for you, is it - Glenn-nes. Hey, do you want me to call Dignitas? I could call Indignitas. They could come around and shove you out of the window, dressed as a clown."

Oh rats, and there I was thinking I was all clever
remembering a reference to an element of popular culture
(and successfully Googling it to check) - and bloody
[calum] beats me to it! |

Wikipedia says most of the clients/victims are Germans or Germanic in, wait for it, the Zurich canton. 21% of those being killed just described themselves as tired, so they needed to pay a doctor to take responsibility. Anyone that humourless shouldn't being doing comedy for a living. |
