…over a year ago, I posted this joke… it was never meant to be disrespectful and, due to the present sense of loss, I'm sorry if I'm such a dic… but because I've never met the great man when he was alive, and needless to say I would very much like to have shook hands with him, I imagine he would have enjoyed a good laugh if I were to have told this to him… I can now look at this differently; my eulogy if you like, to a great soul… because, I tell him, 'I can imagine you sitting at home enjoying your retirement, watching tv when there is a knock at the door...
...a little japanese man, clutching a clipboard yells, "you sign! you sign!" behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts... you say to him, "look mate, you've got the wrong bloke... get lost!" and shut the door in the man's face...

…the next day you again hear a knock at the door… the little man is back, with a huge truck full of brake pads... he thrusts the clipboard under your nose, yelling, "you sign! you sign!"... you are a bit annoyed by now... "look, get lost! you've got the wrong guy... I don't want them!" and slam the door...

...the following day you are resting, hear another knock... the little japanese man thrusts the same clipboard, shouting, "you sign! you sign!" behind him are TWO large trucks full of wing mirrors... you completely lose your cool, pick the little man up by the collar and yell: "look mate, I don't want these! who are you looking for?"... the man, puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says, "you not Nissan Maindealer?" '

…rest in peace, dear sir...
