I try not to think about death too much. I'm too busy enjoying life. I hope I don't get too much time to contemplate it. Death benefits? Never thought there was much benefit in dying. Do I expect money for dying or any of my family dying? No. When I die, they'll get whatever I haven't managed to spend and be grateful that I won't leave them any debts. I hope my deathbed isn't a crime scene, though the missus has been talking a lot about oleander lately. If I decide to top myself, the last thing I'm gonna worry about is getting busted for it. I'm more likely to hop on a train to Switzerland, if I'm in Italy. If I'm in Mexico, I'll probably just jump over the side of the boat.
