LOL.

Funny story (to me). About 3 years ago, I was painting a house and I had
to clean out all the stuff in 2 hall closets so I could paint them. In
one closet, I found the very nicest wooden box. Nice wood and finish
(like a piece of furniture), obviously cost some money. I thought it was
a jewelry box so I wanted to look to see what was inside. (note: I don't
steal, but sometimes I like to snoop just out of curiosity).

Anyway, I turned it over and over and couldn't see a way to open it.
WTH? Then I looked at the little brass plate on one side. It was
GRAMMA! ARRRGHHH! ;-o I've never been good with anything to do with
death and that totally freaked me out. I had heard of urns but never
fancy wooden boxes.
