Went to a funeral today that was more fun than that commercial.

Not a joke - it was very light on religion, only a closing prayer. My cousin, a non-preacher, did all the talking. The deceased lived a long, full life and his passing was not unexpected.

Afterwards, the cousin said he didn't quite have the nerve to tell a favorite story about the deceased: the time he got mad at his neighbors, who had just built a goldfish pond in their back yard. He went over and peed in the pond, killing all the fish.

My second-most-hated commercial after Big Lots - "Every kiss begins with K-A-A-A-Y..."

So does every kill, motherfucker.
