Just the other day, it was a Tuesday, I was in a real dilemma over my choice of new living room furniture. I wanted something functional and stylish, that would see me through EVERYTHING. Lo and behold, Casket Furniture seemed like the perfect solution. Who wouldn't want to get the ultimate use out of their furniture? You get yourself a casket couch and later on when your opus is finished, they bury you six feet under in it. Just think about all that loose change stuck in the cushions you'll get to count while you decompose!
