How could he make people laugh at his own funeral? Please elaborate!
Fair question, my father had many health problems so everyone was well aware that the end was near. This gave everyone plenty of time to say good bye and so on which was really very bitter sweet.
It also gave him ample time to prepare. He wrote everyone a letter that was to be handed to the appropriate person after his death. His usual personality of outright silliness and wanton disrespect for decorum was all over those letters. As a result there were people at the funeral laughing at his corny ass jokes as if he were there telling them.
I still have mine and I read it when I miss him.
I just realized, that's me.
I'm that friend
Making silly whispered comments about minor speaking errors or, barring that, puns. So many puns
Me too. Unfortunately deep voice also carries. Even my whispers.
Haha I was thinking "that's all my friends", but you're right maybe it's just me ...
I can definitely relate to this. The friends that make you laugh are the ones who care the most.
It's just that there's something about the seriousness of a situation that inevitably draws me to try thinking of the funniest and/or most inappropriate things to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i might not be half as funny without that added risk, lol
Its me! I'm that friend!
