Note to self, try to die solvent

A British man thought he had beaten the system. He was informed by doctors that he had a year to live. He promptly stopped paying his bills and his mortgage, went on a spending spree, and lived the life of his dreams. Everything was great! Then came the problem. Doctors called back and revealed good news: he was NOT dying but instead merely had an inflamed prostate. Unfortunately, this means he was now alive, healthy, and pretty much bankrupt.

Lesson learned. Nothing is certain. Not even death.
