Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 03, 2010

When business is dead, then business is good.

Unless of course the stiff refuses to pay you.

Even when your dead, you’re not through paying the bills.

Time to pay the piper.

Don’t forget the tip. Funeral directors hate getting stiffed.

You have to dig real deep to pay for a funeral.

And, for death anyway, there’s a deferred payment plan.

You could save a lot of money and do what one of my neighbors did - put him in the freezer and pretend he “went away.”

That profession has been going in the hole for years. I hope those spammers are too.

Do-it-yourself cremation?

“Dear old Granny, she kept us warm all winter!”

Have you notice since the meltdown of 2008, the funeral business is the only thing that’s still alive?

This is one of Id’s better epigrams! I’ll have to remember it!

The funeral business is the epitomy of two of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition:

War is good for business. Peace is good for business.
