Hey i just made out my will that my body is to be transported by train to vermont when I die in 2071

[Anonymous]

Provided that I live to 100 or so and that there is railroads and passenger trains in 2071
My Tomstone will read
The Inscription "Bring Men to the Mountain so that they can lay down there crosses and use them to build a City of God and lay down tracks throughout the universe so that all can know me".

Passenger rail service in Vermont is always at risk. You might consider a back-up plan. Perhaps a Trailways bus to Port Kent and a Lake Champlain Ferry ride to Burlington?

Have your stone carver use a spell-check when carving your stone, by the way. [:)]

You have to be of sound mind for a will to be legally valid.

And put a footnote in that will that says: "Except as otherwise provided in applicable tariffs, supplements thereto and reissues thereof."

[dharmon]

The inscription probably won't make it in the more politically correct 2070's.... it will be changed to read......


"Cordially invite and provide safe, no-cost transportation to all persons regardless of gender to the Mountain (registered trademark of the Vatican, XXII) so that they can lay down their prescribed religious, spiritual or similiar cultural symbols and use them to build a City representing the religious deity(ies) associated with their chosen religion, spituality or culture and lay down tracks meeting all federal, state and local government safety, environmental and handicapped accessability requirements throughout the universe so that all can know me"*

* All aforementioned travellers to the mountain (tm) should read operating and safety instructions prior to embarking upon the journey. Travellers under the age of 16 should be accompanied by an adult. Always wear approved safety equipment when building a city or tracks of any type. Don't drink and use power tools, particularly those that have spinning or reciprocating blades. Tread lightly!

A little morbid planning...

Good point, but I think they already did...or at least someone did.....[;)]

Perhaps they will have hoverbuses in 2071...The State of Vermont owns the railroads in that state and leases them out to private operaters so yes there will be railroads,What railroads will look like in 2071 is anyones guess. I just hope that there is not another PennCentral like there was in 1971

I don't think you will be the only one being "tossed". [;)]

Maybe you can go by intermodal and have a Vermont Railways trailer move you the rest of the way.

News item: Sept. 13, 2071

"LATE AGAIN

The late Mr. Trainfinder22 was late for his own funeral after having years ago arranged for the transport of his body via Amtrak.

In a further ironic twist, Amtrak was both the cause and instrument of Mr. Trainfinder22's demise. Despondent over budget cuts and deteriorating service on the passenger line, he committed suicide by lying down on the mainline tracks. Mr. Trainfinder22 starved to death."

Dude, If I were you, I'd go(see a shrink first!! LOL[;)] ) ride on the train ride while I could ENJOY it. Oh, and if you can see into the future to know what year you will die, then will you tell me what numbers will win this week's Powerball??? LOL

[Anonymous]

and he notes -

As a backup plan, you might consider being cremated and your ashes carried in a handlebar basket as Vermont's railroads will probably be bike paths by then.

Let's hope your tombstone doesn't read like this hapless chap:

"Here lies George Johnson
Hanged by mistake, 1882
He was right
We was wrong
But we strung him up
And now he's gone"

[Anonymous]

Hey being transported by bike was my second choice as I love bikes too[8D]
