Just go take it. $10.00 says she'll be happy it's gone and she won't bother asking about it.

Frost her first, then ask.



I mean, you gotta go by the book on these things.

Chickens:

Wait until the daughter posts the "YARD SALE" sign or starts talking about how she wants to get rid of his stuff.



OR



Write the following on a 3x5" card:

"Can I have your camper now?" and sign it. Take the card to the funeral home when the family has visitation and drop it into the casket.

If I take it during the funeral, they may think they buried him in it. Bonus.

Just start going over there to have your morning coffee. When she sees/catches you, begin to weep openly. Then tell her, that the camper makes you feel closer to him and you had always told him how much you admired it.



I bet she offers it to you.

Ask if he is going to be buried in the camper, when she says no, point out that he won't be needing it then and offer her whatever...

Maybe I should tell her he always said he wanted me to have it.

You should go to the funeral wearing your GAB icon as a pin.



It will be a thoughtful way to tell the daughter that you're sorry for her loss, and also a subtle hint on the teardrop camper.

I went into this thread with the full expectation of being able to give the advice 'just Frost her over the damn casket, she'll thank you later'. Then I actually read it.



So. Disappointed.

As long as the body is cold, it's ok. But use a lot of lube. Corpses dry up pretty quick, and you could get a wicked rash from the formaldehyde.

Yes, yes, YES. Tell her the teardrop shape will remind her of the sadness of her loss, and you'd be glad to take it off her hands for cheap. And he went in there to "drink coffee?" You might want to hire a jizz-mopper before you move in the twelve kids and the hen.

People that have a family member die know what is going on still, and that you have no reason to think they are incapacitated. They realize that you had only talked to him about it, and are concerned they might sell it off.



Make it easy for them by bringing over a few adds of the same thing so they can set a price and not feel like they are getting screwed, and offer to do all DMV crap for them. You will get it cheap, and might even be doing them a big favor.

Tell her that it was yours to begin with, he was just borrowing it and never returned it.

I'd tell her that her dad had borrowed your teardrop camper years ago and since he liked it so much you told him to keep it as long as he needed it. Now you'd like it back.



Come on, Chix...you're dead yourself, so you should have special insight of how to handle these things.

Find a tape recorder and record yourself in your most convincing dead neighbor voice saying, "Give Chickens the camper or you will be the next to die..." and place it with the play button held down in a place where she'll definitely hear it. Like superglued to the side of the toilet bowl or something.



Once she figures out who Chickens is, you'll have a camper.

Casually mention in conversation that her dad used the camper to cheat on her mom all during her childhood.



Then offer to take it off her hands if it causes any painful memories.

Answer: You go to the grocery store for her, and get a bunch of boxes to help her pack up his stuff, and casually mention how cool the camper is and how much your little boy has always thought it was so cool, and make a casual offer.



She was thrilled that it will be used and enjoyed like her dad always did.



Score.



I feel like a heel. A heel with a new vintage camper. *snork*

I think that was a hint that she is waiting for you to offer to start banging her.

"Camper" = Trailer = Place where drunk rednecks beat the crap out of their wife/sister and kids



Congratulations on your purchase. Your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device, and the chair leg can be used to give the missus what fer.

Tell her the camper is where your neighbor used to sodomize you after your morning coffee. Maybe she'll be so disgusted that she'll want to get rid of it.
