The flip side of dead bowls

At the beginning of the year, I joined a dead bowl. You pay $20 to pick 20 people (plus the Pope) who you think will die this year. Johnny Carson died today. He was not on my list, and now four people are winning the bowl. Many people would say that it's wrong to hope certain people will die within a calendar year, but there is a flip side. Sure, I'd be pleased if Kirk Douglas finally kicked the bucket, but I am now mourning the loss of Johnny Carson. I really thought he had several years left.
