Classic fear-of-death transcended. There is a joy here, that in death life goes on. Your use of the word American is significant. Because in American football, unlike Rugby football (and I'm guessing you are British from your spelling of the word aeroplane, even though you got it wrong) you can pass the ball forwards. You see? That urn (symbolic of your bodily soul-receptacle) can soar through the air in a forward direction! Think slo-mo! Think winning score! It's a happy dream!
