Re: [nukkad] Cliched responses to death

["Indian Rediff" <>]

I am reminded of the 'Dead Parrot Sketch' by Monty Python. John Cleese
has quite a few ways to state 'this parrot is dead'. Maybe some might
be useful? ;-)

I must say, to those who say that the jokes are distasteful, that you
have to see the sketch to enjoy it.

I also vaguely remember reading about a university alumni paper
digging a little or a lot of fun at those alum that were recently
departed. I believe it was a British publication. You may be able to
dig around for that.

Having said this, I think these trite phrases are expected and any
publication that does not do so will, sooner or later, have to answer
for it.
