‘What should one do before one dies?’

 ‘Well, I do a bit of research, check out who’s cheapest’.

‘Not buy, die!’

‘Oh, silly me! I always make sure I have some tissues to hand…’

‘Not cry, die!’

‘I misheard you. I drop off my baggage, go through passport control ….’

‘Listen, I said before you die not before you fly!’

‘Then you should speak up, not whisper!’

‘So?’

‘So, I always rehearse what to say and make sure it sounds convincing’.

‘Not lie, die, die, die!’

 ‘I beg your pardon? That’s not a very nice thing to say to your best friend!’

‘For the last time, what are you going to do before you die?’

 ‘No need to shout, I heard you the first time. Right, top of the list, get a hearing aid’..

    Who knows the person was feigning ignorance from the very first moment, doesn’t want to think about dying but dyeing his or her orange and red! 😀

      I had a feeling most would take the deep and meaningful route, so I decided to go against the grain! I’m so pleased you liked it.

    Oh, that’s brilliantly funny! Well done, Keith!
    My dad has hearing aids and he still gets half the words you say wrong!

    This is dense and humorous. You tickled my funny bone, Keith. But sure, you didn’t mean lie, nor fly, nor cry… you meant to do a little research! Haha. I love this.
