    My grandmother said, “The time for tarts are when they’re passing.” She meant “take what’s offered when its offered,” but I want it printed on the programs at my funeral

        I don’t mean to besmirch the original commenter’s honour, but I read it as the tart will be in the coffin, having passed.
