We all have different ways of honoring our fathers. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards inhaled his.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.[Thanks, John!]
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." [Link]
ooooKAAAY! (What more can you say?)
I think that about sums it up.
Yes, it sounds like Richards thought "rip-snorting" meant R.I.P.-snorting.
