He will be missed and I am sad to see him go.
I only made the joke because that's how I am. I like to poke gentle fun at celebs. Unlike so many who take it to extremes nad get downright nasty.
I made plenty about Steve Irwin when he died. The worst of which was "Right, ere’s a right cheeky cherub who with the slightest thought, could curse or bless a man’s soul…I’m going to poke him with a stick."
(30% funnier when spoken with an Australian accent)
So I did not mean to offend, that's just how I like to remember people that have gone that I liked.
Besides, my will states that I do not want a funeral. I want friends to come over and tell all the flubs, fumbles, slips of the tongue, creative ways I've injured myself...all of that.
When my wake is done there won't be a dry eye in the house.
From laughter.
