I guess twenty years of decay will do that to you. The coffin would still be too heavy to throw, though.

I went to a funeral where the coffin was so big the road workers had to help carry it and it didn't fit in the hole.

Things get really complicated when the body doesn't fit into the oven

If the population keeps getting fatter, coffin size will have to increase, and cemetaries will run out of space.....

I don't want to be buried and I don't want to be burnt
I want to be boiled and preserved in a big glass jar so I can be with my trusted crew forever

...Glass jars that big won't be easy to find, much less freemantle. Sorry, we may have to insist that you never die....if that's agreeable to you.

Is it okay if I take a nap from time to time?

Of course! It's even better if you announce your naps in advance so we know you won't notice the mischief we get up to while you're asleep.

I just made these 4 gallons of gløgg as a variation to Shagbarks excellent wassail. It will make you so sleepy you won't be able to get up to mischief
It's made of 
, port, schnapps, rum, whisky, whiskey, sugar and leftovers from a lot of other spirits. On the bottom you will find chopped almonds and raisins soaked in spirits

Are you sure it needs both whisky and whiskey, Pierce?
