I've been lurking on this list for a while. But when I saw this sign,

I just had to ask. There is something rather odd about it, but I

understand what they are saying. The sign is for a funeral home and

says "We honor the passing of a lifetime: with dignity and care."

I'm reminded of the time a Hot L.A. ad agency pitched the Forest Lawn

account with no success but a most memorable slogan:



"If you aren't buried in Forest Lawn, you haven't lived!"
