It's kind of the way people are. We want to remember people far bigger and better than they actually were. I'm sure I'd have many friends who would go way overboard, exaggerating my "goodness."
Now imagine that I was killed balancing on a high wire above the grand canyon simply because I believed that Thor the god of thunder wanted me to cleanse myself with high altitude winds. Now, are you going to avoid calling me stupid just because some of my friends blew my "goodness" way out of proportion and set me up as some kind of Saint?? I hope not, because I was a stupid fuck to die doing something stupid for a stupid non-existent god.
(by the way I'm not remotely upset, I'm just giving some perspective on the butthurt that happens so much around here)
I might be persuaded to say a few complimentary words at your service, but only if your testicles were split by the exact diameter of the wire you were crossing before plunging into the Colorado River. My ability to deliver the eulogy would be in direct proportion to the local EMS' ability to revive me after shitting, puking, and pissing myself to death in laughter over your demise. With love....Cato.
