I'd like to think that I will be remembered years after my death. / -What for? / -For the things I say and do. / -For the things you say?! / -Mm. / -Like, "Have you seen my blue trousers?"

Direct debit! / -That's how you'll be remembered? / -Yes. / -For euro generosity(!) / -Among other things. / -I don't need to be remembered cos I'll be in the future. / -How?
-Are you aware of cryogenics? / -I've heard people say it. / -Well, I'm having my head frozen and then I'll put in a jar. 12,000 years from now, they'll revivify me and I'll be The Head In The Jar. / They'll wheel me out at ceremonies, consult me like an oracle. / -Why don't you get your whole body frozen? / -That's not the way it works in the future. / - It's just heads, floating about, consulting each other. / -Really? I'll get my hair frozen. Then future generations can get it out and see what's possible. / https://subsaga.com/bbc/comedy/the-mighty-boosh/series-1/2-mutants.html</ref>
