Great way to look at it.

I have a friend who is trying to commission me to build him a small
viking type ship, maybe 20 feet... Only problem is he also wants me to
put him in it and send it to sea on fire upon his death. I did not
mind so much when he asked me to do it, but when I finally realized he
is serious, I kind of got freaked out. Still don't know if I am gonna
build that one, probably not. Scotty


If that's his wishes, and he pays up front or is a good friend, I would
have no compunction. He should probably be cremated first to satisfy
local regs, and the boat should be created to burn as completely as
possible, but I can't think of a better way to go.

When I'm no longer interested in this body, any usable parts can be used
by the needy, Science can have it to figure out how I survived that
long, then burn the rest and put it in some water. The Virgin Islands
are my first choice, Chesapeake second, but the creek that starts in my
back yard is sufficient. I've enjoyed the body for more than a half
century, but when I'm done with it, I'm done.
