    And this is me. Except sometimes I feel so bad for Zoe that I will go in with her and then we park on the often empty side of the building truck access/parking section. Never had a problem there. That's also where the employees smoke... among other things...

    Oh, and Fannie. Are you sure that isn't a picture of a walmart employee? :rofl2:

    There's a reason why they sell caskets.

    Very surprised what little they offer in extra wide. You'd think a company like walmart would know how to cater to their captive audience.

    First: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

    Second: That is just sick and wrong.

    Third: Oh they will offer more large sizes in a year or so I'm sure because they have to gradually get into the sizes that would best "fit" their customers to avoid suspicion.

    It's not just Walmart!!!

    Right before Christmas I got a present from some low lifes at the Advance Auto in Oneonta. Apparently they didn't know how to back up their truck.. cut the wheels too hard and bumped their tire into my rear drivers door. Correct and pull forward? Noooooo gun it and rip off my door handle, scratch the hell out of my door, shatter the quarter panel, dent the rim and break the tail light. They were nice enough to leave no information. I saw them in the store checking out right before me but they paid cash and that store has no video.. so it's all on me to fix.. no full coverage.

    Geez! You gotta love the consideration that people like that have. They probably didn't have insurance.

    WALMART SELLS CASKETS? Who knew?


    Wonder if you put one on layaway?

    Do they sell plots too? And are there roll backs on them?

    Maybe there will be a Walmart cemetery going near you soon.

    I showed my wife the caskets and she said, "now I have seen everything, my life is now complete", then she looked for the cheapest one to shove me into and decided on an Urn, the cheap one.

    Oh it's great to know my worth. :rofl2:

    I haven't been in our local Wal-Mart for a long time. Wife said she's never seen caskets yet.
    I don't think rednecks down here use them. Besides the watertable is too shallow. They must use flat bottom boats or just toss the bodies in the swamp!
    I did tell my wife to save a few old tin cans for our ashes. Then the kids can scatter mine at the next car show.
    Maybe toss the can in the back of the wagon and drive out of town. Stop and slowly poor my ashes down the carburator at fast idle!:162:
    Ashes to ashes----dust to emissions. :rofl2:Hey, this ain't funny!

    ... I think its kinda funny. Zoe and agreed that if I died 1st she would keep my ashes, if I dont get donated to science, and bring me to a wagon gathering. Not sure about after that but it is a start.

    I was reading this thread at work and started laughing when I read about the caskets. Needless to say that got my fellow cube dwellers' attention so I shared the link with a few of them, who thought I was making it up. We are right next door to a Wal-Mart, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of them inquired about them.

    I'm surprised Joplin walmart doesn't have a cemetery.
