SOMETIMES DEATH REALLY IS A REALLY SOLID CAREER MOVE
Years ago, National Lampoon magazine called Elvis Presley's death a good career move. Obviously they were playing the King's death for laughs, given the shock value found in vintage editions of the controversial magazine.
But National Lampoon was right on the money in a business sense. Dead celebrities are a growth industry in the entertainment business.

A LOST WEEKEND FOR A TIGER AND TWO CAMELS ON A ROAD TRIP

WE ALL HAVE A FOUR DOOR CAR IN OUR REAR VIEW MIRROR
There has always been a practical side to family life. Once kids are part of the program, you have to add two more doors to the family chariot. It just happens. The two door hardtop from the early days of marriage gets abandoned at the dealership for something with more doors.

Unfortunately, I can only speak to the male section of the graduating classes. It's my strong game because I am a member in good standing of the male gender.
So let's get this party started and cut through the BS that has been shipped your way during the speechifying segment of the ceremony.

DRUNK AND STUPID WITH A BADGE AND A GUN EQUALS FRONT PAGE NEWS
Drunk and stupid go together like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd-fun for awhile but eventually somebody ends up with a giant shotgun blast to the face.
As human beings, we strive to beat the odds-we try to stare down the inevitable stupid that comes with being blind drunk.
It never works. Just ask Kelly Beemer.
