Pringles Can Designer Dies, Buried In a Pringles Can
n3hat sends along an item from the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Dr. Fredric J. Baur was so proud of having designed the container for Pringles... that he asked his family to bury him in one. His children honored his request. Part of his remains was buried in a Pringles can — along with a regular urn containing the rest... Dr. Baur, a retired organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Procter & Gamble, died May 4 at 89... He developed many products, including frying oils and a freeze-dried ice cream, for P&G... But the Pringles can was his proudest accomplishment, his daughter said. He received a patent for the package as well as the method of packaging Pringles in 1970."
so that's what they're made out of...
Once you croak, you must stop.
At least he'll be able to get good wi-fi.
Let's just be thankful he was so proud of the pringles can. I'm uncomfortable with the thought of him being freeze-dried or, even worse, fried.
Obviously. It seems to affect your typing.

...until you drop (dead).
I can't remember the last time I forgot anything.
You should have seen what Felix Klein was buried in.
"I think Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles was a laid-back company. They said "Fuck it. Cut 'em up."

Grave Digger A: "Dude, all this digging is making me hungry. Let's hurry up so we can catch a sandwich or something."
Digger B: "Hey, whatta coincidence. I just found a can of Pringles down here. Here ya go."
Digger A: "Bleck, they're stale and crumbled. Hey, do you still have that Twinkie we found last week?"
Digger B: "Yes, but I do have doubts that its really a Twinkie."
Digger A: "You worry too much; hand it over."

"The self regulating nature of Pringles - if your hand can't fit in the tube anymore, you probably shouldn't be eating them anyway."
"If your hand is too big to fit in the Pringles can, you should stop eating them. "
Yes, for heaven's sake, stop eating your hands.
Cardiologist's Funeral
....I'm a gynecologist."
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral attended by fellow physicians, family members, friends.... A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral
That's when the proctologist fainted.
