Mademoiselle, it's a not a show
but an old song by a band called Led Zeppelin.. The song could play at the same time

But that's the best part, A + B.
No more long boring trips to the graveyard! Now, people could just go out into their yards, and look to the heavens for comfort.

Well, generally speaking, I oppose commercialization, TAO of Drew.
Though, I sure do love that gecko!

But then people wouldn't know where to visit to see their dead on anniversaries etc.

Serving pie.......Brilliant!!!
How long before the idea would go commercial. Sending off Uncle Eddie with an advertisement for Geico attached. Going to the great beyond and helping people save 15% on their car insurance at the same time.

I imagine you'd eventually get used to seeing them, SYMPHONY.

I was thinking either this, Strat, or loading them onto some sort of catapult.

Well, A + B, I'm assuming the bodies would be sprayed with Lysol first.

Or over a garbage dump, TAPS.
Though, hopefully
not a toxic waste dump, because then they might turn into zombies, or something.

It could work.
It's sort of an innovation from the classic, traditional Zoroastrian funeral, where they just put the body on a tower and let the buzzards have at 'em. This way, at least the lazy scavengers would have to work for it.

This would be helpful against those who might have been buried alive and
to help release zombies.

Mademoiselle, hopefully when the air leaves the balloons and they crash to the ground it will be somewhere in the area of Roswell, NM.

What about low flying aircraft
That would delay the serving of the pie

Seriously, Passion?
Wow! That is exactly what my mother said would happen ... except with pigeons, not geese. But I guess that aspect would probably depend on what part of the country you lived in.

Um....we tried this once!
A flock of geese pecked at the balloons until they were all popped and the dead bodies fell back to earth.
What then, oh Guru of the dead?
