FAST food until the very end.
One American man has shown his
undying devotion to Burger King
by having Whoppers at his funeral.
The 88-year old Burger King
devotee was unconcerned with
the health implications of fast food
and “lived life by his own rules”.
As such, when arranging his
funeral he determined that the
funeral procession, including his
hearse, get drive-through Whoppers
en-route to the cemetery.
An extra Whopper was also
ordered for the deceased man,
and was placed on his coffin as it
was interred in earth.
Speaking about the unusual
order, Burger King manager
Margaret Hess, told media that
she was glad the man was a fan
“until the very end”.
HAVING a coffin fit.
Queenslanders in the town of Millaa Millaa are divided over a new attraction at the local cemetery, a coffin shaped toilet. Constructed by the Millaa Millaa Chamber of Commerce in revolt after they were quoted $80,000 to build a loo, the coffin facility has a cement foundation, septic systems, and sturdy walls. “You have to be careful, not everyone is going to have our macabre sense of humour,” said Chamber President Pat Reynolds. “We did it with good intentions,” he added. And he was right, with locals writing in droves to the local council to express their outrage. “Imagine if they had a funeral there,” said one angry letter writer, Brian Norton. “I don't think it's going to go over very well, especially if people are there from out of town,” he added.
