My daughter "killed" me yesterday

My daughter is going to Mortuary School and yesterday's homework was filling out paperwork. One of the papers was a death certificate. She said the teacher had a book with celebrity's certificates but she thought she could find one online. Not as easy as she thought so I asked if she wanted to kill me instead.

I wanted to die of something unusual but she had trouble finding puffer fish poisoning so we went with being gored. Yep, my occupation is Rodeo Clown. The main cause of death was a really long word that meant excessive bleeding with the secondary cause of death being another really long word that meant the bull's horn slipped under my ribs and punchured my liver. She had to list time, date and place. I died at 2043 (8:43 pm) the day before my birthday. I was DOA. Dang, don't remember my age, think it was 48.

I forgot to ask if any of the other students "killed" a relative. Heck, maybe they haven't even talked about it yet.

Cool, huh? (The picture is from a 2001 rodeo on the Professional Bull Riders site.

TTFN, I've got a math test tomorrow I should be studying for.

Update: I got the "official" words: The immediate cause of death was exsanguination (excessive bleeding due to internal or external hemorrhage). The underlying cause that initiated the events resulting in death: hepatorrhexis (rupture of the liver - the bull gored me).

and my age: 52

The teacher only went over things and didn't collect the papers. Man, it would have been funny.
