1. A dilemma solved

That solves that pesky burial problem for me. Yes, I'm completely serious. Cremation is already planned. This solves the ash disposal problem.

on edit: 101 bagged game animals out of 275 shells. Not too shabby in a country where shooting of any type is nearly impossible. .367 batting average is pretty good under those circumstances.

2. I told my wife to donate me to science
no use spending any money, even on being cremated. :)

3. I tried that
they said whaling is illegal and that they didn't need the blubber.

4. If some of the ashes traveled on the shot and ended up in a bird
then the bird was eaten by the hunter, wouldn't that technically make him a cannibal? I wonder if the British cops would prosecute for that.
