<p>I remember when I was a little fellow attending a Wake with my parents, some of the men there were carrying on a conversations about the dearly departed. They were ageing that this fine fellow deserved to be buried at least 8 feet deep just to make it harder for him on judgment day. I guess he may have not been a "pillar of society" in our town. Slainte .</p>

<p>Mary Mary quite contrary. You cast aspersions on my beloved cousin twice removed (once from the Keg O' Poteen and the other time from The Hungry Hen). You call him an oul' B when in fact he was middleaged. But he may well forgive you. He was the forgiving kind. Kind of.</p>

<p>We did indeed attend his wake and four of us were chosen by lot to shovel in the clay. Lovely feeling.</p>
<p>Your late husband made a good move attending his absent father's removal from this earth. It's as well to be sure about these things.</p>
<p>Thanks for making me smile!</p>

<p>Now I am wondering Colm Herron,If the dead man was such a monster in life... surely he was a monster in death !!! ... That leads to the question... why these people and yourself actually attended the funeral ??... Was it respect for your Ancestors -- of whom you both sprang.... or was it to ensure that the Oul B........... was really dead.......</p>
<p>My late husband went to his absent fathers funeral, just to ensure that he had been buried and could never hurt him again ... </p>

<p>Hm. Belinda, I'm a person of greatly retiring disposition and must tell you that listening to that raucous rendering by the Irish Rovers caused me to spill three quarters of my double Jameson into the maw of a blootered bishop who just happened to be making a pastoral call on me at the very time I was clicking on that deadly arrow you supplied. The bish has since happily expired. The tippling point appears to have been that extra 2.5 ounces of Jameson's. So I hope that gnaws at your…</p>
<p>Hm. Belinda, I'm a person of greatly retiring disposition and must tell you that listening to that raucous rendering by the Irish Rovers caused me to spill three quarters of my double Jameson into the maw of a blootered bishop who just happened to be making a pastoral call on me at the very time I was clicking on that deadly arrow you supplied. The bish has since happily expired. The tippling point appears to have been that extra 2.5 ounces of Jameson's. So I hope that gnaws at your conscience. </p>
<p>And by the way, if your cunning plan was to have those cases of Jameson's and Jack Daniel's diverted to your address, think again. The musical score which I'm supplying is for an orchestral rendering of Finnegan's Wake, first performed by the Berlin Philharmonic under the influence of Tosser Barbel <span>Pfannkuchen and is of the highest cultural quality. </span> </p> tag:thewildgeese.irish,2016-10-28:6442157:Comment:2022612016-10-28T01:05:35.427ZNollaig 2016https://thewildgeese.irish/profile/BelindaEvangelista
