I have now seen absolutely everything I think I could ever be shocked by in one lifetime. WalMart, our ever-present Wallyworld for the consumed-by-shopping crowd is now selling Caskets!

That's right folks...one stop shopping! Buy new tires for the car, a winter coat for the kids, a new snow shovel to replace the one you ran over with the aforementioned car that now needs new tires, oh...and "buy the way" grab a coffin.

I think that would be a great conversation piece at that party for the man who has everything or always winds up with two of the same gift! *snort-giggle* I bet he won't get two of these puppies!

The next question begging an answer is how does this work? I mean I know how a coffin works, but how do you plan that funeral? I've heard of BYOB (bring your own bottle) parties, but are there BYOC (bring your own coffin) funerals? How do you get it...UPS (gives BROWN a whole new dimension)? And what if the delivery gets lost or delayed?

I've heard of drive-thrus for everything from church to weddings but this gives a whole new meaning to the term 'drive-by'.

Hmmm, I wonder if WalMart takes lay-aways?
