Two couples are sitting near a pool, in a quiet reflective mood as they'd just returned from yet another funeral. Finally one of them talked about what the attendees had to say and wondered what she'd hope is said at her funeral.

Then added that she hoped people would say that she was a good person, raised responsible, caring children and volunteered extensively when the children were grown. And that rescued animals.

Her husband thought about it then said he'd like people to remember and acknowledge that he was a self-made man who started with nothing, and worked to pay for his education. And, when he was financially stable, devoted his time to philanthropy.

After a quiet pause, the other woman said that she'd hope that people talked about her as a good person with a strong commitment to cleaning up the environment for the future generations. And participated in medical studies whenever applicable to help further science.

After another, oddly prolonged pause, she finally turned to her husband and said, "Well, what about you? What do you want people to say at your funeral?"

He thought about it and replied, "I want them to say, 'Hey, look, he's breathing!'".
