Rest in Peace Rufus

I was sad to learn that probably THE funniest man to have ever walked the planet has passes away on Sunday night after complaining of chest pains and later that night experiencing a terminal episode at the age of 71.

G.C on euphemisms for aging and death:

‘Older’ sounds a little better than ‘old,’ doesn’t it? Sounds like it might even last a little longer. … I’m getting old. And it’s OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die - I’ll ‘pass away.’ Or I’ll ‘expire,’ like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital they’ll call it a ‘terminal episode.’ The insurance company will refer to it as ‘negative patient care outcome.’ And if it’s the result of malpractice they’ll say it was a ‘therapeutic misadventure.’
