Years back after my Dad died, he'd wanted his ashes scattered at sea so we organised with the Lyteltton tug to take them out to the heads where i could do it.
It was only as I was about to tip them over the side that I remembered one of his favourite stories about another scattering of ashes from a cliff top, in which the ashes were promptly blown back by an updraft so that all those gathered got a mouthful...oh dear!
So I muttered 'Don't you bloody well dare!' as I tipped them overboard.
He didn't.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
