THEY CALLED HIM WHAT?

My dad, "Felix Unger" just called to report another distant cousin or distant great uncle's death.  The way my dad approached death has become almost comical.  Last week he called to tell me the last of the uncles has died.  He then tells me their age, their aliment, and how we are related when I've met this uncle maybe twice in my lifetime.  "Felix" emailed me a few days ago to tell me his cousin they called "Choker" died. There were a bunch of boys all borned around 1939, he prides himself on be the Last One Standing.  Then there was "Shine" awhile back.  He himself is called "Buddy".  Wow, I don't see "Buddy" at all.  I look at my dad and I see Felix Unger. He described the funeral today.  There was a lot of people he says.  Now remember, "I want to be cremated or ya'll can donate my body to science or even better than that, put me in a field and let the Buzzards get me (that's if I have totally gone Senile)......Can you believe they want $10,000 for a coffin???.. For God's Sake that's what I paid for my first house in 1966.  I'll show those Funeral Directors a thing or two.  Speaking of two, Can you believe people pay two thousand maybe even more to bury their pet?.....Better yet send my body to a pet cementary, the cheapest way is the only way I say.".......After he has desensitized me towards death, I go on to ask him what did the nicknames mean.  "Well"....  he said, "Choker" was a football player. He was this Big Guy, he could  choke you so we called him "Choker".  I then ask him what about "Buddy", well "Buddy" was more like brother, his brother & sister called him that.   I ask the final question, "Dad, what the heck did "Shine" stand far?.... He then proceeded to tell me in his always politically incorrect way.....   "Well.... "Shine" was very dark and he had a shine to him so we called him "Shine".... Actually he was the best looking of all us, he always got the girls....It's "Felix's" 73rd birthday tomorrow.  May he continue to live another 20 years and never never succumb to Political Correctness....My stories wouldn't be as funny, you know deep down, I'm right....Ain't that right "Shine"!
