Do not allow me to give a eulogy at your funeral.
Seriously. Don't do it. The following is an example of something that I felt compelled to write when someone asked for help giving a eulogy for his friend.

I asked him what the hell he was doing, and he told me that God wanted him to have dominion over nature so that's what he was doing. Then he yelled at the frog, "What's my name? Say my name, bitch!"
That was Bob. Always going that extra mile.
