Their obstinance in ignorance erodes my will to live."

His final papal bull: "Semper clara latus vitae"
(As texted to too many of my friends and relatives earlier today...)
So, justto get all the obvious crass jokes out of the way, and to make sure I don't accidentally send them to Mom:
a) "BRING OUT YOUR POPE!"
b) "Mum, there's a dead pontiff on the landing!"
c) "If you hadn't nailed him to the balcony, he'd be pushing up the daisies!"
d) Conclave 2: Weekend at St. Peter's
e) Given the timing, do we have to wait three days to make sure?
f) Since Jorge was a nightclub bouncer in his youth, does this mean St. Peter finally gets a vacation?
g) Did he have the salmon mousse?
h) Vance/Truss Tour: Offing Decrepit Monarchs.
("And now he works for Jesus as the bouncer at St. Peter's gate....")

Married Conversations: Go running for the shelter
Frage: "I did ask my doc to call in a scrip for Flonase, but I never heard back from them. CVS just texted me I have a filled scrip. I hope it's the Flonase."
UIM: "It would be weird if it was for something you never had filled before. 'We see you're married to UIM. Would you like some Valium?' "
Frage: "Yes. I'm going to sneak it into his food."
UIM: (mimicking mouth full) "This pizza tastes funny"
Frage: (narrator voice) "Which did not stop him from having 5 more slices."
UIM: (commercial voice, mimics holding up a product) "It's the Xanax crust!" (wide fake smile)

Married conversations: Case by case, we understand each other better
(As I load the items in the iGo car with items to put in storage...)
Frage: "Is that a guitar case?" (with the previous knowledge that we had ditched our respective guitars at various move times....)
UIM: "It's a rifle case with a Nerf sword in it."
(Long pause while UIM puts the rest of the boxes in the iGo car.)
UIM: "I understand the loop playing in your head: 'Why do I even ask him?', 'Why do I even ask him?', 'Why do I even ask him?' ..."

I will always be too lazy to make this my epitaph...
He has gone where
short-sighted management
and over-confident developers
may lacerate his heart no more.
He served maintainable systems.
Traveler, imitate him if you dare.
