Ask daveb!: What happens when you die?
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006Bang! Zoom! The very first “Ask daveb!” question has arrived!
Totally-Taco-TOnii from Jersey asks:
Q:
Dear daveb,
What happens when you die… and shit like that?
Ps. This is actually from my roomate.
TOnii
A: Well TOnii, that’s quite a brainsqueeze of a question. Mere humans may balk when faced with such a task as answering such a daunting query, but not daveb. Daveb rules!
There’s a fucking fecal cornucopia of cultures, religions and semi-coherent belief systems out there. Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims and so many others all have their opinions. It’s a big place, this Spaceship Earth. So, who’s right and who’s got their head up the cosmic donkey’s ass? Get ready. Are you sitting down? Everyone. They’re all wrong. Seriously. No lie. So where do we go when we die? Does anyone know?
You bet your ass someone knows. Daveb rules! He knows everything and since you asked nicely, he will learn you something big, so stop fucking around, sit straight and pay attention because you’re about to hear the truth, straight from the Pope’s colon polyp.
When you die, your soul doesn’t leave the Earth. In fact, it goes to a really fucking fat guy with clammy hands named Earl who lives in Fort Dick, California and has been doing the whole afterlife thing on the side as a hobby. The rest of the time, he sells rubber industrial O-rings to factories. I told you that you’d be better off sitting down.
Earl (last name withheld for privacy) started collecting the souls of the dead as a young man, fresh from the Korean war. The idea came to him one evening while teaching his four year-old son to catch fireflies with mason jars in the backyard and while originally started as something to pass the time, Earl’s afterlife has grown to quite the cottage industry.
Earl’s first setup was a five gallon paint bucket behind the garage and today has expanded to fill the entire garage, a toolshed and several Hefty trash bins. Most recently, Earl has begun working on an addition to the house which he hopes to house all the souls of the dead and perhaps create Fort Dick’s first and only tourist attraction.
So there you go TOnii, question answered. Keep ‘em coming people!
