(11) Where do you think we go when we die? In many cases, bodies go into a lined wooden box which is placed under six feet of earth.
Yes, but that's so boring, isn't it?
When I die, (and yes I know I'm spoiling it for you guys - so don't tell my family / any kids I might have in the future etc.) I want my body to be secretly stuffed with helium.
Only the presiding person and the people carrying the coffin should know.
So, to start with, a traditional (albeit non-religious funeral) - but when the coffin carriers let go of the coffin and lower it into the grave, suddenly the lid pops open, and my corpse floats up into the air with a big grin on its face.
Queue lots of comedy grabbing me by the coat tails etc., which is ultimately unsuccessful.
And if I'm lucky - I'll "cheer up" people on transatlantic flights too!
