He Died Doing What He Loved, Part 2

As I've shared before, my friend Andrew has long said that, no matter how he dies, he wants his tombstone to assert that he "died doing what he loved." Although I hope Andrew doesn't die anytime soon, it is fun to imagine the many ridiculous ways he could die, while still giving it a positive spin.

Andrew died doing what he loved: jaywalking on a busy street.
Andrew died doing what he loved: taking a nap in the bathtub.
Andrew died doing what he loved: hugging a grizzly bear.
Andrew died doing what he loved: dehydrating.

I mean, it's sad obviously. But we can all take comfort in knowing that Philip died doing what he loved: not wearing a motorcycle helmet.
