[Associated Press,Kincaid, W. VA] A man at a
   party popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit
   down, triggering an explosion that blew off his
   lips, teeth and tongue, state police said
   Wednesday. Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the
   blasting cap as a prank during a party late
   Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne. "Another man
   had it in an aquarium, hooked to a battery, and
   was trying to explode it," Payne said. "It
   wouldn't go off and this guy said, "I'll show you
   how to set it off." "He put it in his mouth and
   bit down. It blew all his teeth off, his tongue
   and his lips," Payne said. Stromyer was listed in
   guarded condition Wednesday with extensive facial
   injuries, according to a spokesman at Charleston
   Area Medical Division. "I just can't imagine
   anyone doing something like that," Payne said.

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless,
and so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today.

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and
March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added
late fee and interest on the monthly charge.
 
The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00.

A family member placed a call to Citibank:

Family Member: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January."
 
Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still
apply."
 
Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."
 
Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been."
 
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"

Citibank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her
to the credit bureau, maybe both!"
 
Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"
 
Citibank: "Excuse me?"
 
Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about
her being dead?"
 
Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."
Supervisor gets on the phone:
 
Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."
 
Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still
apply."
 
Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"
 
Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"
 
Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given)
 
Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"
 
Family Member: "Sure." (fax number is given)
 
After they get the fax:
 
Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I
can do to help."
 
Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just
keep billing her. I don't think she will care."
 
Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."
 
Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"
 
Citibank: "That might help."
 
Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69."

 
Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Family Member: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"
