An irrevesible cessation of life.
A BOY AND A PRIEST ARE INSIDE A CONFESSION BOX...
BOY: father, i think i'm dead.
PRIEST: no my dear child, death awaits you not.
BOY: i believe it has come already.
PRIEST: boy! what makes you speak such unholy words?
BOY: coz i just got into Dover College.
PRIEST: oh! that makes it worse.
