The ones who built the aerpolane coffin must have ben blessed with second sight! The coffin was built in 1951 but Ghana Airways was not founded until 1958. I'm not going to comment on the design - it looks like a 5 engined DC10.

Here's a hearse I photographed in Accra just a few weeks ago, unfortunately the driver must have hit something because the plane was a bit skew-wiff and damaged:

What would I like to go in? A cardboard box will do me fine!

 

[Black Sheep]

I dunno what I want to go in, but I know what I want for a headstone

I used to walk past a memorial stone mason's on the way to uni and back for three years and walked past it again yesterday and thought

"I want a nice piece of rough hewn lakeland slate, if it's not lakeland then I'm coming back to haunt you"

i'll tell the wife later

It wasn't the coughin' that carried him off; it was the coffin they carried him off in.

I want to be placed in a giant cannon and fired into the sun.

After I'm dead, obv.

Hunter S Thompson went in a similar fashion (though not as far as the sun). Was going to put YouTube link, but the film is spoiled by idiots going "wooh" and "yeah" all over it.

 

[Jezston]

Quite. I insist on reaching the sun. Hunter S Thomson's funeral was a joke.

Quite. I insist on reaching the sun. Hunter S Thomson's funeral was a joke.

He was dead and wasn't to know though - actually even alive he was so out of it you might as well have just launched him into Swindon.

No thoughts about the coffin but I want to make the journey in this
