On his death bed they asked him where he wanted to be buried.   
   His answer was, "Surprise me."   
       
       
       If you remember Bob Hope, you'll really enjoy this.   
       
       
   I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and also didn't realize it has been   
   over 11 years since he died. I Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show.   
   He touched a lot of lives during his life. Thought you might enjoy a bit of   
   memory touching. Enjoy and recall a neat comedian.
