I sometimes joke with DF that if he goes and dies on me, I will dig him up and kill him a second time.<BR/><BR/>It always makes him laugh at me, but I realized that I half mean it. The thought of him dying on me both terrifies me and makes me angry too.<BR/><BR/>I intend to have a word with God about this whole death thing when I get the chance.
