You know, you purchase that and they give you a book, you know, and you pick out, you know, what kind of casket you want, what your pallbearer songs you want, you know, all the details, right?

So Tony passes away.

And his parents are meeting with the gentleman who runs the funeral home, and they get Tony's book out, and they start flipping through the pages, and they're blank.

There's nothing on it.

And they get to the very last page, and he says, I want to be buried in a clown suit with a red foam nose because this body has made a fool out of me, and now that I don't need it anymore, I want to make a fool out of it.

And he wanted to be buried in the casket in a clown suit.

How about that?

Did they grant his wish?

Well, I talked to the – see, the funeral director did not want this information to be widely known.

But Tony's parents, his dad called me and was laughing about it and said, what a way, what a way to go out, right?

Because he did.

He had everything under his sun.

Yes.

Absolutely.

You remember on the cruise, he won the hairiest chest contest with one hair.

Yeah, I'll never forget looking out the window and seeing that going on.

So the funeral director was going, I can't do this because it's going to make me the laughingstock.

As a matter of fact, he didn't know that I knew, and I called him and I said, hey, I'm about to come up to the visitation.

Do you need me to bring anything from Birmingham, anything special, maybe like a red nose?

And it was just silence on the phone.
