This comic brought back the memory of a tale my Dad used tell about his boyhood. Back in the late 20’s or early 30’s, families held wakes or viewings at home. Dad and some of his friends sneaked into a house where a wake was been held and sat the body up in its coffin. When the family returned and saw the deceased sitting up, they couldn’t get out of the house fast enough. They were even diving out of windows to get away.

He had said to his lawyer, “If there’s a way, put it in my will.” The executor made it happen: “Where there was a will, there was a way.”

Is that Statler or Waldorf? I can see either one heckling the viewers at his wake.

A good funeral should leave you with a good story.
