For, if I don’t see my name in print, I know I’m good for another day. But what if it’s there? And what if it appears without my approval? The unedited wording of my epitaph would be something over which I’d had no control. Not the writing, not the correcting. My final testimony could read like this: Thomas â€" James (Jim): The prone figure of the aforementioned was discovered near the intersection of Rupert Avenue and Westlawn Crescent. When last seen, he was pedaling west on Rupert with a pit bull in hot pursuit. lt’s believed the dog grabbed the cyclist by the pant leg, catapulting him over the handlebars onto the sidewalk. Police said that had the deceased been wearing a bike-belt or helmet. his injuries might have been less serious. ' Thomas â€" James (Jim): While completing delivery of the last of his four paper routes, the late Mr. Thomas was attacked by a swarm of voracious wasps. Although emergency aid was immediately available he’d already lapsed into a deep coma and later died. Thoma â€" James (Jim): While going about his daily routine of assisting school children at the comer of Millard Street and Glad Park Avenue, the town’s senior crossing guard was hit from behind by a four-year-old riding a tricycle. Although neither the trike nor its rider was licensed, no charges were laid. Before lapsing into unconsciousness, the employee told police the lad was probably too young to understand the word ‘S-Tâ€"O-P'. Thomas - lames (Ilm): While assisting a 93-year- old woman down the front steps of the O’Neill Funeral Home, the part-time employee suddenly collapsed, striking his head on the cement. While sympathetic, witnesses said the accident’s location simplified serâ€" vice preparations. Thomas - James (Jim): While taking up the offerâ€" ing at St. Iames Presbyterian Church on Sunday, the deceased tripped over a wrinkle in the rug, hitting his head on a pew. Due to fear of worsening his injury, the unfortunate usher was left in the aisle until paramedâ€" ics arrived. The plate’s loose change, however, was quickly retrieved. Thomas â€" James (Jim): It's with mixed emotions we report an age record would have been established had the deceased staged a comeback in the Stouffville Amateur Hockey League. Unfortunately, he lapsed into deep depression and died when informed the only position open was that of a goaltender for a pre- dicted lastâ€"place team. | Multiple choice in obituary section Thomas - James (Jim): During the deceased’s pres- ence at a Whitchurch-Stouffville council meeting, Mayor Wayne Emmerson announced an application had been received from the operator of a proposed topless massage parlour to which, the mayor said, 3 Ward 4 resident wished to lend support. Resuscitation was provided without success. Thomas - James (Jim): While traveling south on Park Drive, the deceased's car was struck by an unex- pected toboggan hill mud slide. Rather than remove the driver and vehicle from the mire, the town announced a permanent memorial would be erected at the site.
