Ka-ching! Ring up yet another posting for this very common riddle. Though this post is a lot less lucid than most.

But he who invented it, or made it, does want it, because he will die too. He doesn't want this particular one, but he wants one.
He who bought it does need it to bury his wife. If he throws this corpse into the ocean, tiger sharks might eat her. And since he is a tiger shark hunter, and tiger sharks have a slow digestion, he might find her head in shark's belly, and die because of stroke.
And sometimes people buy coffins for themselves before they die. And he who wants it knows of it when he/she is still alive. Also, a corpse is nothing: it is not he or she.

Pedanticity is often the case when solving riddles, don't you think?

Hey, Alien Iceman, does your new floater mean that you have abandoned Windows ME for Linux?

BTW, has this fine riddle been posted before? Since I am a newbie, I really don't know.  I've been here just for several days. I used the search engine though, and I stumbled on great riddles, by some riddler I don't know. His nick is alien. He has fantastic riddles! I myself can only hope to post quality riddles like he did.
