A couple of items are needed to introduce this latest send-up from The Spoof, a web-based publication devoted to satire.
First, there is a current story about a real-life couple from Britain who went to Switzerland and got “put down” together.
Second, this isn’t the first time we’ve featured an article from The Spoof. In January of this year, we featured another one in a similar vein – by the same author.
Here’s the latest – I’m really find of the names chosen for the couple in this one:

An elderly couple have the unique privilege of being the first married pair to have themselves euthanased together. If only they had lived to see it, they would have been proud to have seen their glorious deaths emblazoned all over the papers.
Mr and Mrs Notdeadyet were Satanists, but were described by neighbours as “not very quiet actually”.
A family friend refused to speak to me, but via an exclusive phone-tapping operation, it was found that they were terminally ill. Both Mr and Mrs Notdeadyet had a “rather bad” cold and could not cope with the “constant sniffling” and “ticklish cough”, so they decided that it would be for the best that they terminated their existence before the terrible illness preventing them from living their lives.
In an ironic twist, Mr and Mrs Notdeadyet’s regular lottery numbers came up this week.
They must have misunderstood the omens indicating that “their number was up.” –Stephen Drake
