Death Comes in Threes

We saw it last week with the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. And then Matt Lauer said on the Today show that not only do celebrities die in threes, but death comes like this — elderly, expected and sudden. Which works for last week.

Yesterday, OxiClean screaming man Billy Mays died suddenly at age 50. So there should be two more out there, right? Elderly and expected. Perusing CNN this morning, I saw that there were two more (albeit less currently famous) celebrity deaths. Gale Storm passed away at age 87 (elderly) and comedian Fred Travalena died of cancer at age 66 (expected). So, please, universe, let this week go by quietly, okay? And RIP, all of them.
