I just figured out a pattern.

Males that have passed away in my family have ended their lives weird.

From my mothers side, my great grandpa (grandpa still being with us) died during the prohibition. I always thought he slipped in boat while chasing crooks and drowned, but in fact it was shady business and he didn't slip by accident. So he was pretty much taken cared of, but he was a cop and he did chase bootleggers. Legendary stuff.

My dad just told me this week how his dad died, because he never talks about him (him being a drunk super abusive bastard I'd suppose, they eventually kicked him out of his own house when they grew up big enough to fight back, my dad and his brothers). He went by the way of super weird. He said one day when he was in the field with his traktor, he had some kind of a mild stroke, but as he had it, he leaned forward, pushing the gears up, and falling off, and actually the traktor went on and drove over him. So he drove over himself with a traktor. he didn't pass away immidiately, he was in the ground the whole hot day, and someone found him when it was dark. he died on the way to hospital. Tough sob, but his time came.

My uncle, dad's brother died when he was cycling from bar back to home, drunk as hell, he tripped with his bike, head first to a ditch. It was a hard hit, but he didn't die immidiately. He was found the next morning, in the ditch, still alive, died on his way to hospital.

What's weird is that others are a)still alive or b) I never even heard about other males in my family, dying or being alive.

So what does this mean?

Obviously I'll be a winner .

I think your key factor in all these deaths is not that they died in a weird fashion, but they all died drunk as a skunk.

you great grandpa, a bootlegger, I am sure he was drunk

no one falls off a tractor and runs over themself, even if they have a stroke, that is on accomplished by a drunk guy

your uncle, well he definitly was drunk

moral of the story?

no idea; probably something to do with alcohol and moving vehicles

Hueij, hey better go weird than normal... when you go, you go, so the aftermath is the same, but going weird makes you.. different.

Japher, I don't know, my grandpa on my dads side was a drunk, a bad one with drunk attitude and very violent, so I think he would have told me if he was drunk.

And my great grandpa surely wasn't a drunk, at least a big one, because those days they actually had beliefs .

But you are right.. some of the old timers are/were SUPER drunks, and pretty nasty ones too. The moral of the story is not 'don't drink'.

There is no moral story to it. Just weirdness. The story is, in my family, men do not pass away in hospital beds.

I know but that's the way it is. I mean I never heard anyone else, that would have passed away in his sleep/hospital/etc.

Ecthelion, this is true. Either full blown alcoholics, or non drinkers like my dad.

But they behave well when I'm around because I would not hesitate to slap them back to order and their little puny pencil necks as well if **** got out of hand.

Got spare money?

No, I let you be a free spirit. Equal to me. I mean, obviously not in the set of skills but as a person you are equal to me and I let you enjoy it because you have deserved it.

But the rest of you.. BACK TO WORK!
