This part made me chuckle
I finally have the smoking hot body I have always wanted… having been cremated. Please come say goodbye and celebrate my wonderful life with my husband and his special friend Dorothy who is now lovingly taking care of my horse's ass.

Ha. Now there's an idea.
The ones in the links were very similar...but serious.

I always liked Spike Milligan's "I told you I was ill."

Saskatchewan man denied licence plate with his name on. Again.

So in far bigger letters, he has his name on his truck, dwarfing the licence plate.

Spoiler:
Dave Assman with is truck.

No thefts reported after Kingston grocery store accidentally left open Family Day

Someone left the doors unlocked for a Food Basics store in Kingston. Nobody stole anything.
Despite the store being completely unsupervised, customers not only didn’t steal anything, but made the extra effort to pay for their groceries.... no damage inside and [there] didn’t appear to be any destruction of any kind, police said... “Throughout the afternoon we had about 10 or 12 customers enter the store, and [they] realized it was closed,” said Mark Woudwyk, district manager of Food Basics. “Most of them left — a couple did their shopping and left money for us.” In one case, a Woudwyk said a female customer picked up all of her groceries, and returned the next day to pay in full.“The lady had walked several blocks. She was an elderly lady, a regular customers of ours,” Woudwyk said. “She had a little shopping list, completed her shopping, wrote out what she took from us and came back the next day and paid us.”
I'm guessing CCTV was checked to confirm this.

Vaisakhi is a big deal in Oliver; I was there when it was on last year and while I didn't get involved, it was interesting to see all the traditional costumes.

So....
All of those 'in the know' 'get rich quick' city gents, who piled in on Uber only to lose out on day one, would have done a lot better had they followed the profit, put their sensible heads on, stopped sniffing coke for a day and bought a few Westjet shares instead.
Well done if you own them, I don't....
