Appearing in Public When You Are Dead

...is fine, as long as you don't get your picture taken.

I had nuttin' for it, until blogger BobG (blogging from somewhere Near the Salty City) posted that excellent caption you see up there. Norman Bates would approve, I'm sure. I riffed off of BobG's caption, but BobG did all the heavy lifting. And has this one won, I'll warrant.

And please, Lady, Countess or Duchess or whatever you are, check your embalming before going out in public again!
