Transcript:
Alex: Another case of wine? Mike: It's a wake, Alex. People are going to drink. Alex: Okay, well, then, I better go guard the door. Mike: What for? Alex: In case the low-life show up. Mike: Low-life? Zeke: Any ideas? Man: Attic window looks busted. Go get a rope.

It appears that Alex doesnât have a very high regard for Zeke..

Thereâs a reason she usually refers to him as âUncle Stupidhead.â A very good reason.

Er, why go to funerals if not for casseroles and open bar?

Iâve seen plenty of booze at the after-funeral get-togethers, but at the wake? Obviously, Iâm going to the wrong funerals.

People, you gotta catch up. It is no longer Uncle Stupidhead. He and Alex agreed that from henceforth she would refer to him as Uncle Chucklebutt! That was months ago. Jeesh!

cdward, good point. I have been to Irish wakes that have included refreshments, but usually in private homes, not funeral parlors. Check your local paper for any OâMalley âs or Finnagans that have passed lately, pay your respects, and help yourself to the corned beef and Jamesonâs. Just be sure to sign yourself in as Mr. Flynn.
Funeral crashing can be almost as interesting as wedding crashing, if you go to the right ones.

With the refrigerator in 1 & 3, looks like they are in a home kitchen â guess the party moved from the viewing at the funeral parlor to the house. Unless theyâre doing it Old South style with the viewing in the front room (formally known as the âparlorâ) â kinda glad weâre past that phase of history (thoâ Iâm not a fan of the modern funeral industry, but I digress âŚ)

Personal note: my wifeâs step-mom never let any of my Father-in-lawâs REALLY rowdy friends from the old days know he was dead til AFTER the funeral. Made for a very quiet post-dinner, but not nearly as much fun as it could have been. I suspect the Old Bear wasnât happy but then he couldnât complain for the first time, either.

Catch the bikerâs sunglassesâare they the same as Earlâs? or Jeffâs precious Oakleys? Hmmm ⌠is this a suggestion that the biker is actually CIA? Is this telling us something never before suspected about the late Widow Doonesbury?

@ TexTech: I donât care what his new alias is. He will always be Stupidhead to meâŚ
It suits him so well.
