  • Your concerned and worried neighbors gather around you and start bidding on your lawn furniture...
     
  • Your adult kids arrive and search the house desperately looking for your life insurance papers...
     
  • Your wife dials 911, then places a second call to her old high school boyfriend...
     
  • The paramedics ask you which mortuary you would like to go to...
     
  • The Emergency Room doctor tells you to expect "a little stick" from the angioplasty process, and then rams a hose the length and width of the Alaskan Pipeline from your groin up your arteries to your heart, where he proceeds to blow up a black balloon with "Over the Hill" printed on it...
     
  • The ward nurse refers to you as "the body"...
     
  • The quartet from church shows up in your hospital room and sings "Nearer My God To Thee"...
