"We are sorry to announce that this service terminates here."

From the Facebook post of the widow of Phil Sayer, the man who voiced "please mind the gap."

Humor in death. Impressive.

David म्हणाले...: Especially impressive after esophageal cancer, a bad way to go. Just ask Ulysses Grant, if you can find him. I wonder if the humor emanated from the decedent, his spouse or both.; १६/४/१६, ९:५२ AM
Michael K म्हणाले...: "“All things considered, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”

Although that was a WC Fields joke, not the actual tombstone. But then, he could;t be responsible for what someone else did after he was dead.; १६/४/१६, १०:०४ AM
Titus म्हणाले...: Althouse, you got to read the NYTimes article about building more housing.

They do these video interviews and one of the peeps they interview is Starchild, an exotic service provider, who is grateful to live in a rent control unit.; १६/४/१६, १०:१४ AM
Titus म्हणाले...: housing in San Francisco, that is.; १६/४/१६, १०:१५ AM

I am Laslo.; १६/४/१६, १०:१८ AM
