because dying is funny?

To refer to death as someone having "kicked the bucket" amuses me way more than it should.

I've always wondered where that expression comes from. And yeah, as death euphemisms go, that's definitely the most humorous. "Tripped on a rainbow" follows as a close second. :p

I generally refer to the pending death of my grandma as her kicking the bucket, because the humor of it takes the edge off the grim reality :)
