Point to Ponder

I have been thinking about the "death comes in threes" theory, and I believe we are short a celebrity death. To explain:

1. David Carradine
2. The man who invented the magic fingers bed
3. Ed McMahon

next

1. Farrah
2. MJ
3. ????

We're due for another...

I respectfully suggest that the third has already taken place: OxiClean pitchman Billy Mays. Or is his rightful place with Ed McMahon? (In which case, David Carradine might be moved down to join Farrah and Jacko).

Billy Mays was 50, the same age as Michael Jackson. Coincidence? I think not.

Watch out, Susieq, 50 is the Age of Death! Avoid taking handfuls of prescription medications prescribed by your personal charlatan. And avoid banging your head on a plane ride. Then, you should be okay.

You know who should die? The Shamwow guy. I know he got arrested this year for punching a prostitute (hey, it happens, SHAMPOW!) but really, as far as pitchmen go, he should die.

Ok, does this death coming in threes thing apply if the 'celebrity' is not world famous?? Like, who is (was) Billy Mays? Ed McMahon - slightly well known down here. Man who invented magic fingers bed? Never heard of him!
So, quite frankly,unless they're famous in down here, I don't think the theory holds!!!
Oh, and thanks for the advice Nanuk - I sacked my personal charlatan just last week - must have known something.....and don't recall banging my head on the recent holiday....
