It's kind of hard to picture the solemn occassion when every time you
look at dad for the last time you've got a little mustache faced guy
winking and smiling back at you.
On the other hand, with todays economy, if the entire family is on
board it could someday make for 6-7 tubes and one burial spot!
Hmmm, I may have to look into this. Or maybe better yet, just shoot
me in the pringles tube out to sea via one of those air guns they
have a sporting events. Dramatic and economical.
