THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST OBITUARY EVER:
On September 9th, a 53-year-old guy from Douglas, North Dakota (--which is in the center of the state), named Jim Adams died . . . and I have to say, he just might have left the best obituary EVER.
--It reads, quote, "Jim, who got tired of reading obituaries noting others' courageous battles with this or that disease, wanted it known that he lost his battle.
--"It was primarily the result of being stubborn and not following doctor's orders, or maybe for just living life a little too hard for better than five decades.
--"He was sadly deprived of his final wish, which was to be run over by a beer truck on the way to the liquor store to buy booze for a date. True to his personal style, he spent his final hours joking with medical personnel, cussing and begging for narcotics.
--"[Jim] would like to thank all 'his ladies' for putting up with him the last 30 years.
--"In lieu of flowers, he asks that you make a sizeable purchase at your favorite watering hole, get rip roaring drunk and tell the stories he no longer can."

(--Nicely done, Jim. Rest in Peace.)
