My father liked to drink whiskey. So much so that he drank one bottle a day, every day, for most of his life. He passed away, back in May, at the age of 80, and, in accordance with his final wishes, his body was cremated. They are still trying to put the fire out

Its a joke.
Deadpan is hard to do over a text link.
I have the only truly accurate globe, but everybody else keeps using it, as it is too large to keep in my home. Its 1:1 scale.
Something funnier:
My father was such a miser that he set the thermostat to a mere 14 degrees C, and he turned it down at night. We would put butter in the fridge to keep it soft. One cold january morning, the furnace broke down and nobody noticed, until noon. Finally, my father bought a heat pump-- a marvelous invention that makes the house so cold that heat flows in from outside.
