Cherie Blair's Dad's Dead.

[Ash]

I've always thought hoping that people rest in peace when they're dead is an odd thing. What else are they going to do? They're dead. Was do they think the dead are going to do? Get up and start filing their income tax returns?

Possibly something to do with the belief in some quarters that there is some sort of 'afterlife' which might involve some negative aspects such as being tortured by fire for all eternity, or even worse, having to file tax returns.
