Don't do this. Use the KISS approach. Shoot the body before burrying.

I want to be cremated but I also want to be guillotined before being shoved into the fire. Knowing that the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none, I'm in inclined to request a viewing even though I don't want one just so they replace my blood with embalming fluid, at least that would ensure I'm dead.

I ATEN'T DEAD

That's why we have a "wake", to see if the person wakes up.

You want it to be a pull down trigger not a push up one. Because of the bloating

Just put a Nokia 3310 in the coffin. You can even play snake 2 while awaiting rescue.

Isn't that just a bell, which led to the proverb "saved by the bell"

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Saved by the bell is more than lonely from boxing. Apocryphally about those safety bells but theyre an overblown myth by all estimates

That's where the phrase "saved by the bell" comes from isn't it? Because they used to do this with a bell attached to a rope that the person could ring.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I thought it was when you're getting your shit rocked in the boxing ring and the bell saves you from being pummeled into [T.]K.O.
