The fun part about wakes and funerals

[tom turner]

That was a great one Barb!

I'll be your husband's ex failed to show up partly out of embarrassment too for not recognizing someone she'd been married too once . . . plus the fact that she knows he's much better off now and she can't stand that fact!

Naturally, this would all drive her to drink more too.

That's a classic!!! Thanks for sharing.

When my wife's grandfather died, the family honored his wish to have an old fashioned Irish wake.
They had grandpa laid out on the kitchen door setting on sawhorses. A couple old old gals dressed in black; no one was sure of who they were exactly, were sobbing in the living room while the whiskey and cold cuts were consumed in the dining room next to grandpa.
The party was in full swing when the family dog swiped some meat and ducked under the sawhorse, toppling gramps onto the floor.
The undertaker (mortician) was called and everything set right and brushed up and the party resumed.

Butte Montana mid 1960's believe it or not.

Butte Montana mid 1960's.

There, I fixed it for you. All you really had to say was Irish and Butte and it is very believable.

Good one Barb. For a minute there I thought you were writing the "back story" for one of Sherrill's tales. (you're not his ghost writer are you?)

Feel free to take a swipe at the Italians, but I can't resist.


What is the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?
