For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the phenomenon of people losing interest in connecting with someone after they have passed away. While it is impossible for hair and fingernails to continue growing after death, it serves as a metaphorical representation of the neglected communication, as phone calls symbolize interpersonal interaction. The quote suggests that people tend to forget or detach themselves from the deceased, emphasizing the transient nature of human relationships and society's tendency towards short-lived concern for others.
