FUNERAL ETIQUETTE


WHAT NOT TO BRING TO A FUNERAL:

balloons and a joy buzzer


a date


one of those crossword puzzle digest magazines


your pet chimp


Kentucky Fried Chicken


a necrophile


Rip Taylor


video recording equipment


Chinese acrobats


the deceased's doppelganger


a Voodoo Priestess from Haiti


WHAT NO FUNERAL SHOULD BE WITHOUT:

a dead body


a mirror to hold under the deceased's nose just to be sure


a coffin or urn


an old woman dressed in black and wailing at the coffin in a language other than English


an unresolved grudge


powdered sugar*


*Editor's note: MR.E. may be thinking of "funnel cakes"**


**MR.E.'s note to Editor: I was!


a sexy second cousin you can stare at while you pretend to pray


a sexy second cousin who understands that the legal definition of incest does not include cousins


a chalice of fresh lamb's blood with which to toast the deceased


a clown (you can't spell "funeral" without "fun")



WHAT NOT TO MENTION IN A EULOGY:


Instances of parental favoritism, unpaid loans, and social snubs


That once you're cleared as the number one suspect, you'll assist the police in finding the deceased's real killer


"Even though the head has yet to have been located..."


How fortunate his widow has been to have had her tennis instructor Raoul by her side during these trying days


The particular kind of pornography they found on the deceased's computer


"Though his body may turn to dust, his artificial penis will forever remain."


The deceased would want you to have his golf clubs


That you need a ride home


"Good riddance."
