He should be buried with one of those big fake checks he was famous for giving to lots of charities.

I had the same thing happen to me when I was going through chemo. Fortunately, I was hospitalized in time to start getting massive doses of antibiotics via IV to control the infection.

That wasn't an insult PJ. You dont even know what you are talking about. Billy was very philanthropic and was always giving away those BIG oversized checks to charities and sports leagues if you had a clue you would know this
