I read a tweet (can I say tweet in a family-friendly place like this blog?) that a person was at a party when they asked another what they did for a living

Person 2: I'm a film director
Person 1: That must be fun! You get to tell stories, bring people together, be creative. I would love to do that for a living.
Person 2: I never really thought of it that way. Most people just get shivers when I say I'm a funeral director.
Person 1: Oh, FUNERAL. That's different

Amigone? Har!

Sounds like a name for a Steppenwolf song.

Gene's a little occupied right now. He probably missed this.

But have you heard of Enders Funeral Home in Berryville, VA?

We're going to sue the next person who makes fun of our clients' name.

The video reminds me of something Garrison Keillor said: "They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days."

Amigone? If you can ask the question, you're probably not.
