I'm giving away my funeral clothes

I know it sounds morbid. (as in morbidly obese).. but I kept a sport coat in my closet that I bought years ago.  It was the only one I had.  It stopped fitting me about seven years ago... but since at the time I was convinced that I would never lose weight, it would only be a matter of time before I died, and my family would need something to bury me in.   I figured the funeral director could just split the coat up the back to make it look like it fit.  Who would notice in a coffin?  (That is if I could fit into a coffin)

I don't even like to reflect on those awful days... The only reason I recall them is for people who may feel that sense of hopelessness today.  Well. there is hope.

I can now give that old sport coat to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.  Because I bought a new sport coat. And I didn't buy it at the big men's store.  I bought it off the rack at J.C. Penney! 

Here's a link to the picture. Sorry.. the photo is a little fuzzy.

My wife and I went out to a dinner engagement tonight!  I wore the coat.  We had a good time.

Donate your body to the state med board.  No casket, funeral, makeup or clothes to worry about..  My wife and I are donating our bods.
You're melting away fast.  Good luck

Herc,

Shaving that boney mug of yours must have taken some getting used to! 

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Lookin' good in that coat & tie, bro. Keep up the good work.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
