Roaming Charges Six Feet Under?

From MSNBC:
“We had a young man die this past summer and they put his cell phone in the casket for the viewing and it rang constantly,” he says. “It was turned to silent, but you could see the phone light up so you knew people were calling. And they were leaving messages. They knew he was dead, but they were still calling.” -- read more -- Diane Mapes
Things I want taped to the inside of my coffin:
  1. Blackberry with three extra charged batteries (I’ll need to keep my Facebook status up-to-date)
  2. Flashlight (to find all the things taped to the inside of my coffin)
  3. Small Bible (I’m a militant agnostic, but you never know)
  4. Bottle of Water (and/or peppermint schnapps)
  5. Candy Bar (and don’t sneak an MRE in there either)
  6. Cyanide pill (in case I find no comfort in items 1 – 5)

From Dilbert.com

I'm sure my readers realize this trend creates an opportunity for some world class pranks. Begin by pretending you are putting the deceased person's cell phone in the casket and then pocket it. Later you can call the relatives of the departed and ask questions such as "How's the weather out there?" You might accuse the living of being too hasty about dividing up your possessions. Tell them you have befriended some worms but you are concerned they are up to no good. If they ask how you are doing, say everything was fine until you farted. There's no end to the comedic opportunities. -- read more -- Scott Adams
