A little early for an April Fool's Day joke.

He's not dead.

He is not dead. He was at my moms funeral in 2005. Alive and well.

WTF? Wasn't he presented on the field during one of the football games this past season? He's not dead.

Unless that was just an imposter. shite Paul McCartney has been dead for 40 years but is still around.

Impossible. I remember waving a $20 at him, along with the rest of the student section, at that year's Ole Miss game, where he was introduced to the crowd. He looked alive to me.
