The sky is falling, the sky is falling! -- never mind, it's just cremated human remains.

"Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low"

There's a joke in there somewhere.

I thought I was being real canny
Didn't mean to knock you on your fanny
The plane took a dip
And I lost my grip
Can I have back my bag full of Granny?

Well, they're right about one thing: ashes is a euphemism. My father was cremated--what we scattered was gravel.

Hmmm. I would have thought this thread might have attracted more attention.
