Man, if he thinks a day goes by where I don’t contemplate my obituary, he’s sorely mistaken. But now on top of that morbid daily moment will be added the fear that my obituary will end up someplace like Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, and that the “fullness” of my life will be measured in a laboratory.

That’ll only happen if you get too drunk, go to the Bunger, and accidentally start fatiguing your head. I won’t say it’ll never happen, but I’m not putting money on it either. Alternatively, if you cross Robert or Rick, your obit could appear in MegaTECH (or whatever they call that alumni rag). Now that would be nice!
