One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for July 05, 2024

And some are rude enough not to show up at their own funerals

Ruthie is confused with Avis’ comment. She should be.

So if a person doesn’t go to the dead men’s funerals, those already dead men will not go to Nick’s funeral? I can explain why this happens.

This is one of Yogi Berra’s lines.

Fine! Don’t come to my funeral, see if I care!

So … there would be no zombies? [Except for her?]

Me thinks old Avis’s elevator doesn’t go to the top floor

That was Yogi’s line.

Yes, if you don’t go their funeral, they will be haunting yours.

I plan on being late to my funeral. ;-D

with nothing to stop my coffin, I probably won’t go to mine.

I recently found out I have high blood sugar. I told my wife my new epitaph will be “You can pry my Nutter Butters from my cold dead diabetic hands.” She said why not use both my new one and my old one together?

“You can pry my Nutter Butters from my cold dead diabetic hands. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

That Jake Marley. I’m pretty sure he’ll show.

Yogi Berra-ism.

My grandfather missed his. Grandma went to a chain mortuary that had multiple business sites in several states. They were trying to even out the caskets between the stores so they all had a good selection. Grandpa was in one of the popular models with the top closed awaiting his funeral the next day. The truckers came and were to pick up a certain number of that casket and deliver them to other locations. Grandpa’s big day and they’re in a panic because he can’t be found. Understandable. He was found later that day but it was too late by then. The family were good sports about and said Grandpa must’ve had a hand in it and was laughing hysterically. They didn’t charge for any of the work they’d done or the casket so that part was nice. Lol!

Who needs to make sure there are no leftovers after the funeral.

I agree with Ruthie.

There have been a few I’d like to have sent a note saying I approved. quasi Sam Clemens quote.

Say what?!

You know, Avis’ son knows how to put the “fun” in funeral. She should ask him to come with her! Maybe even get him a day pass from Arkham Asylum.
