Not "Joe's Garage"?

How about Firesign Theater? (I think we're all bozos here)

Somebody dies everywhere every year, even every day - it's a consequence of birth.

Speaking of Joe's Garage, how's Mary?

Getting back to the (twisted) topic, I think I'd most like to die violently at a very well-insured resort that has dumb lawyers. Afterward, I'd negotiate with the after-life powers-that-be (there's a lot of them to choose from) about getting reborn with my existing memory.

Keystone Resort's slopes kill at least two people every ski season. I know they've had two fatalities this year, both on runs I've skied, from people hitting trees.

Therefore, it's not the best resort to die at.

The best place at a resort for me to die at would be on a chairlift, peaceful, compared to hitting a tree, violent.


I might also want to hit a tree anywhere just to put myself out of my misery.

The ONLY resort to die at is the LAST one you ever visit.

I can think of a few resorts that I'd like certain other people to die at, but planning for one's demise is a bit morbid, don't you think?

Hold on a second that shouldn't be an option; people care for you. :thumbup:

Dying on a chairlift would be the last way I would want to die. Just imagine you're so stoked to shred two feet of pow and the haul rope snaps. Not how I plan on leaving this world.
