Arise

I’ve been to a few funerals recently, including those of a couple of close family members. No matter how I’m feeling, there’s always this irrational urge to say or do something silly, and then I find myself having to suppress giggles.

Does that make me a TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING? Probably.

How to behave at a funeral.

Panel 1: GOOD
Matt: "I'm so sorry for your loss."

Panel 2: BAD. Matt is standing beside a coffin, with a grieving family-member behind him. He looks around.
Matt: "Did you hear something?"

Panel 3: REALLY, REALLY BAD. Matt is standing in front of the coffin with his arms in the air.
Matt: "ARISE!"

Tooltip: Those people could NOT take a joke.
