Eldorado Posted June 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) "A devastating fire which gutted a crematorium in southern Austria was caused by an obese woman's excessive body fat blocking an air filter, Austrian public broadcaster ORF reported. The fire occurred at the facility in the city of Graz in mid-April. Firefighters had trouble extinguishing the blaze due to a thick layer of insulation lining the crematorium's walls..............."

Arbenol Posted June 7, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not exactly the parting statement someone wants to be remembered for. I dunno. I'd be proud to know I caused that much carnage after I'd died. Helluva send-off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left-Field Posted June 7, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Oh that's so sad. My sister is obese. I feel for the family. I hadn't thought of it that way. I found humor in it for other reasons that really had nothing to do with it being an overweight person (I'm not too slim myself). But yes, I suppose it would be an unfortunate ordeal for the family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted June 8, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I can't stop laughing! I know. So wrong ain't it? lol Can remember, years ago, reading about a burial in torrential rain. The pallbearers were laying a man to rest and the rain-sodden sides of the grave collapsed underneath them and they all tumbled into the grave! Tragic for the family of course but also, imo, totally hilarious to imagine. Edited June 8, 2012 by Eldorado 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest story I've ever heard, you need to find a link to this story and make a thread about it. :lol: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taun Posted June 8, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 8, 2012 While it was bizarre, it was hardly what I would call 'tragic'... No one was hurt, the lady in question had already passed on and was actually going to be burned anyway... And when I 'go' I'd like to leave 'em laughing - or at least give the mourners a chuckle... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT the story in the OP Thanks, I actually hovered over the send button a couple of times before finally hitting it. Wasn't sure if it would offend people, luckily most people on here are intelligent enough and relaxed enough to realise that. lol While it was bizarre, it was hardly what I would call 'tragic'... No one was hurt, the lady in question had already passed on and was actually going to be burned anyway... And when I 'go' I'd like to leave 'em laughing - or at least give the mourners a chuckle... Well said! I was thinking about putting fireworks in my coffin when I go... As I said I want to be cremated... Might be a bit OTT though? I love the bit in the film "Toys" where his dad has the laughing box buried with him. LOL You either laugh or cry, I'd rather laugh when it's possible. (Obviously you need something to laugh at, I don't just go to funerals and laugh.. that would be disrespectful) Edited June 8, 2012 by Coffey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoIverine Posted June 8, 2012 #23 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) When they cremate them...do they strip them down first? Taking the clothes off a gigantic dead fat woman would scar someone for life, I don't envy whoever has that job. Ugh.

In my youth, I had the unfortunate experience of arriving (unexpectedly on my part) at a nude beach... It's only in the movies that "beautiful" people go to beaches like that... Most people who go there should be banned by law from going there!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
