Sudden Death: On the Toilet!

Here are some people who took their last breaths in the bathroom. I got these from The Bathroom Reader (a very entertaining and funny book):
null In 1016, 27-year-old King Edmond II of England was murdered in the bathroom by an assassin who hid behind his primitive toilet. As Edmond sat, the murderer stepped out and shoved his sword twice “into the king’s bowels.”

Movie producer Don Simpson (Top Gun, Flashdance) died in 1996 from what was rumored to be an overdose of cocaine. Actually, he died of a heart attack while going to the bathroom.

Probably the most famous toilet-death was Elvis Presley’s. He died on the pot of a heart attack while “takin’ care of business.” You could say that the “King” died on the “throne”… At the time of his death he was reading a book entitled “The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus.”

    You forgot my favorite supposed death on the throne.

    In Judges Ehud kills King Eglon on the throne. Now that is doing the Lord’s Work. “King Eglon I have a message for you from the Lord,” then he gives him the shank.

    I gave waiter at ThaiRama restaurant a million dollar tract. He told me he already had one. So on the way out I stopped at the counter, where he sat, and asked if he had read the back of it. After searching, and shuffling through all his drawers, he finally found it. I told him the information on the back is far more valuable than the face value of the bill, if he truly understands it and puts it into practice. He was not aware that there was information on it, so he started reading it after I pointed it out to him. I asked him if he knew how to get to heaven. He said he is Buddhist, and he has to be born again 40 times, and do enough good works. I asked how much good works is good enough to qualify. He laughed, saying he does not know. I then asked if he thinks he has reached that point of worthiness. He said no. I asked if that concerns him. He said yes. By this time another customer came up behind me, so she too was able to hear a full gospel message! He thanked me.

    I was in Pollo Loco having lunch with a sister when a couple of LAPD officers came in and sat next to us. Shortly later two more came and joined them. Three of them appeared really tough, strong and unfriendly. As they kept going back and forth, I was trying to build up courage to talk to them. Finally, after two of them got up to leave, I got up to leave also and gave the two still seated, million dollar tracts. I said , “Hey guys, I am making you millionaires today”! They both loosened up and laughed heartily, saying “Great, you made my day”. I told them the greatest part was the info in the back, especially if they repent, read the bible,put it into practice, and make God #1 in their life. They said thanks. Their attitude was so good I was encouraged. So I told them I wanted to catch their two buddies before they left. I hurried out,and saw they were still in the police car outside. I ran up to them, startled them for a minute, until I gave them both million dollar tracts. They too were overjoyed at the idea of being so rich. They too were given a short gospel message, and a warning about the danger of hell. I also encouraged them that the true riches that God has in store for those who follow Him, can no way compare to a million dollars. They thanked me. This experience also taught me not to be intimidated by appearances. It also brings to mind what the book of Revelation says about cowards not entering heaven. If God puts on your heart to do something good, do it! THIS IS HOW GOD TAKES US TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AMEN

    An agent came to my home to discuss some business. Upon leaving I gave him a million dollar tract. He took it and laughed, saying “Thanks, now I can buy the million dollar house on the beach I always wanted”. Then he pointed to a sign I have on my door which says “Got Christ? It is hell without Him!. I said aha, they both go hand in hand. I encouraged hin to read the back of the bill. He has already heard my message on my answering machine on free real estate in heaven with gold paved streets.
    He left thanking me, and saying he will read it.
