P.S. to my post of 20-Feb-02 - 09:49 AM: Of course, there are more differences between the "Uncle Harry" song challenge and this one. Among those are (e) the fact that the remains themselves are not anonymous people (each of those bodies had been on record as being sent to Marsh for cremation, though reports have said that some of those bodies may never be identified due to the state of decomposition): and (f) the fact that the grieving relatives are not anonymous (some are even known to one of the Mudcat visitors – see this post post from Chip A (no relation!), 19-Feb-02 - 04:42 PM)

Granted, in Ian Darby's example of the Titanic, there were also grieving relatives, as well as survivors of the sinking, and I'm sure they weren't happy to hear all the jokes and humorous songs about the Titanic, either.
