ImPatiently waiting for my Grand Prize of a V-Grand.
What...Who said Good Luck With That!!!!!?
I am ordering my Coffin.... You know...In case, by some act of God or Divine Providence...an angel makes them make a mistake and I win a whole...VOCAL GRAND!
Don't think my heart could take that kind of surprise. Ergo...said plans for my 'funerary container'.
Ok Heaven!!!...This is not a premature invitation to enter the Pearly Gates early. Tis just an observation of the folly of us flawed humans.
So! The challenges are counting down...and I still don't see my name anywhere. Not at all satisfactory!!!!
So, back to the box thing...Nothing extravagant in the way of coffins...
Just -
An opulent funerary container crafted with exceptional materials, intricate artistry, and symbolic detail, designed to convey wealth, status, and spiritual protection for my deceased soul in the great beyond...
Made from premium timber - imported Lebanese cedar, prized for its fine grain and durability - or from solid gold in the case of royal examples like Tutankhamunβs innermost coffin in Egypt's Museum. This golden coffin weighs over 110 kg, is entirely gold, and is inlaid with semiprecious stones and blue glass.
Luxury versions may also incorporate semiprecious stones, colored glass, and inlays for opulence. The construction must be meticulous, with multiple nested layers (inner, middle, and outer) for protection, housed within a stone sarcophagus.
So...nothing too fancy.
πππ΅π. Lucky for you...I won't need it. (Hope Heaven is listening. Hope they know it's just for fun).
Cause Vocal would never give me that kind of dough up front. They figure I would become a million, trillion or zillionaire and leave them in the dust of my sudden and great fortune in life.
Sigh!!!
I'm doing the calculations....
If it took me 5 years to win a first prize of $200 dollar-bucks. Then it will take me 25 years to win the GRAND V PRIZE. Right! (I am bad at maths).
Can I still win it f I am...you know...Kaput?
Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sayonara...Goodbye Grand Prize.
I shall pass on to the AfterLife as a pauper!!!!!!!!!
ππππ΅
Still wondering why Humor still needs...what? 600 words. That should be the first Community with short forms for laughs. Sigh!
