My uncle had the best cow­boy boots and also em­phy­sema. I asked him for his boots and he said no. I said look here old man you are not long for this world and he told me to fuck my­self. I said you can’t take it with you and he said the hell I can’t and he put a cod­i­cil in his will that he was to be buried in those boots. I tried to bribe the kid at the fu­neral home but no dice. We buried him last Sun­day and tonight I am going to Wal-Mart to buy a flash­light and a shovel and some of that hand san­i­tizer.
