Funerals

I always laugh at funerals.

I know you hate funerals.

When I was younger, I hated going to weddings. My grandmothers and aunts would huddle around me, poke me in the side, and giggle "You're next! You're next!" They only stopped this nonsense when I began to do the same thing at funerals.

Men usually wear black suits and black ties to funerals.

Taking part in funerals is something that people only do for the sake of appearance. It makes no sense on its own terms. It's like the effort you put into cleaning your boots every day: you only do it to make sure no one says you've got dirty boots.

I hate funerals.

At funerals we don't tell jokes, and we don't laugh!

People don't usually tell jokes at funerals.

I've been to a lot of funerals.

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
