I love my family. I mentioned in another thread that my Dad passed away on the 21st. Tough time for us but that's another thread. Anyway, when I was growing up my Dad was famous for coming home at night, taking his pants off, hanging them on the back of the chair and sitting around in his underear all night. So there we are at the funeral home and we walk in to see Dad for the first time. Naturally there were tears and hugs for a few minutes and when everything went quiet I said, "Wait a minute, this is all wrong". Everyone stopped what they were doing and then I said, "Shouldn't he be laying there in his underwear with his pants hanging on the hood of the casket?" Everyone laughed, thank God, and the afternoon and evening seemed to be a bit lighter from then on, stories about Dad etc. I want people to laugh after I'm gone. Someone saying "He made the world a happier place" through streaming tears just seems wrong!
