No Male Pallbearers
An elderly woman passed away. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, “They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.”

I was just wondering…
Is there another word for synonym?
Can you be a closet claustrophobic?
Isn’t a letter carrier's career a mail-dominated profession?
Why does the Indiana driver's license include in its list of possible restrictions "B" for "Blind"?
