Sweet Potato Queens.

An exerpt about obituaries and funerals from "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens" by Jill Conner Browne:

"A good friend of Tammy's, Alex, said she doesn't care all what they say about her when she is gone, she just wants to be buried in cheese. She envisions a huge coffin-shaped hunk of cheese with a hollowed out space in the middle for her. She didn't specify a preference for the type of cheese, having never met one she didn't want to spend eternity with."

I don't know Alex, but I want to be just like her when I grow up. Although I do have a cheese preference...no crumbly cheese and no american cheese. Please and thank you.

(if you haven't read any of the Sweet Potato Queens books, go for it...they are hysterical. like, laugh out loud by yourself on the crowded airplane hysterical)
