Threads are interred in above-ground crypts after being paraded down Magazine Street in New Orleans in horse-drawn hearses while accompanied by raucous Dixieland jazz bands. It's true! I've seen it myself. Just before the final interment, the casket was opened so those who wanted to have a last look could do so, and there was our old friend "Why Do Men Wear Socks With Sandals?" looking almost as good as he looked while alive.

It's da troot! If I'm lyin', I'm dyin!
