I think it's a reasonable request. I'm for dead diversity.

#8 - Actually, no - he's said many times he considers himself an American above all. Anti-semitic much?

#6 - Nope. He's lived in one of those big apartment buildings on Fifth Ave just above WSP for as long as anyone can remember. Never lived in BH.

On his deathbed, Bob Hope was asked by his wife where he'd like to be buried. His response? "Surprise me."

Was he planning on dying first, or were they going to bury him alive?

there goes the ghoul neighborhood. Geez, even cemeteries get blockbusted. I can just imagine mr and mrs. John Q. Christian cringing at the thought of having to be buried next to a jew and the worst mayor of new york. Yes, he was worse than dinkins.

What's up with the gate around his plot?!?!? If you're going to lie down with goyim then do it right.

Either the remains will get converted, or his rabbis are reformists and really can care less. I bet a female Rabbi will recite the burrial prayers. But the trick is nice, I have to admit - put up a fence around the grave and declare that small srea a personal one-plot Jewish cemetery:)

Watch the priests of Trinity Church pull a page from the book of Jehovah and convert his remains to Christianity. It happens.
