i was not doing this because of a "sick mind" ... in english today we were talking about delivery and the tone of phrases. like you know "she passed away" has much more compassion than "oh, she kicked the bucket." Do you see what I mean?

Years ago, on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, he did a skit on this. It was based on the new trend at the time for co-workers to deliver the eulogy at a funeral. So the skit was a funeral for someone from Roget's Thesaurus, and his co-worker (Carson) must have had 60 euphemisms for "dying." If you can find a clip of it, I'm sure your class would enjoy it. My favorite was "making a call in the horizontal phone booth."
