PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) — James Henry Smith was a zealous Pittsburgh Steelers fan in life, and even death could not keep him from his favorite spot: in a recliner, in front of a TV showing his beloved team in action.
Smith’s body was on the recliner, his feet crossed and a remote in his hand. He wore black and gold silk pajamas, slippers and a robe. A pack of cigarettes and a beer were at his side, while a high-definition TV played a continuous loop of Steelers highlights.
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read all day. Well, the “Pittsburgh Steelers” part of it, anyway. The “dress him up in his favorite team colors and loop hi-def highlights of his favorite team” part I think is really cool. In fact, I think I’ll put that in my will, next to the “don’t keep me in a vegetative state and let preachers and politicians argue my fate contrary to my and my wife’s wishes” part.
