Things that make you go hhmm.... 21

Funerals

Puzzling, really.

A person has passed on and what do we do? We celebrate with first a "wake"?

Called a wake why?, because it is the tail end of life perhaps?

Anyway, everybody that person knew can come and see what his body looks like without him cluttering it up. When people say, "He looked so natural" , or "alive" or "youthful" or any number of other comments.

The person is DEAD! Probably the most relaxed he has been since birth but dead all the same.

They then set up a parade? I like parades but this getting stupid!

All traffic, and people have to stop to show what, respect? For someone I never met much less knew? What did they do to earn my respect? Die? That will only work if the right people die and in the way in which they should.

Sorry people, dead is dead. When I'm done crapping on and being crapped on, cook my ass in a fire to help heat someone less fortunate or just find a box and throw me in the ground somewhere out of the way and not in the prime realestate being used for cemetaries.

Again, we go hhmmm....

"Wake." Because after you go to sleep at the funeral, you "Wake up" and go and have a drink.
