No, We Don’t Want One, Steve

Steve! No! We don’t want to buy one! We don’t care how good a deal it is! We won’t use one as a coffee table in the Underground Lair O’ Computers until one of us kicks the bucket! Honest!

On Monday, Costco Wholesale Corp., better known for bulk chicken and cases of soda, started test marketing caskets along side mattresses at a North Side Chicago store and one in suburban Oak Brook.

Nope. Don’t care if that’s your Costco. We’re not doing it. So don’t even try IMing me with attractive price quotes in a variety of decorator colors.

  1. Heh. I heard on a morning news/entertainment show that they stock lavender coffins. That is soooo wrooooong.

  2. which is why i’m opting for cremation. *nods* as i told dr. cat….have a large party, say nice things about me, and donate all of the money that would have been spent on entombment and give it to the local critter shelter. at least there, it would *mean* something.

    don’t work too hard, lady!

  3. Wait, wait, wait, wait… last time I went to Costco they unloaded the hand trucks, shopping carts and flatbeds into the boxes that were used to ship the store’s inventory, then the customers would haul those recycled boxes and their contents to their cars and toss the merchandise into cupboards and bomb shelters, and throw the boxes away. Now you can purchase a casket, fill it with your merchandise, haul it all home, empty it (or not), and then reuse it later! Very practical.
    Lavender?

  4. That made laugh, because I am always Box Finding, Purchase Packing Woman at Costco; David’s usually busy unloading the cart onto the belt and paying. At least it would be far more elegant than the usual cut-down 24-pack ramen box.
