Default Demand for caskets for dead fat people is rising

It seems that the casket industry is selling more and more "super-size"
coffins for people who are too fat to fit in the regular coffins:

Since there are more fat people around these days, and since they tend
to die sooner, I guess this is logical. The fat-acceptance crowd should
be pleased.

Too bad airlines companies didn't realize this same thing and make the
passenger seats wider!

When it's time to tune to that big talk show in the sky, station changes
aren't allowed.

Ooh, I like it!

I have worked at two major hospitals. At the first, we had an
EDU -Emergency Department unit. When I worked there, we would frequently
state that a patient had been transferred to the ECU (Eternal Care Unit)
after they died. Later I went to work for another hospital. On my third or
fourth day in the units, a nurse came up to see us with a name tag that
stated her dept as the ECU. I was horrified. It turned out that the ER at
that hospital was called the 'Emergency Care Unit" -hence the 'ECU' name
tag.

Meanwhile, what about:
