Aye, but Rambi, there is a difference between irreverence and laughing in the face of tragedy for those we love, or have some feeling about, and when we laugh in the face of tragedy that has occurred to those we don't feel anything for. I know I shocked people at the funeral home while making arrangements for Autumn. And we all fell into fits of laughter when her ashes wouldn't fit in the urn we had brought. This was after I stood and watched her body burn, though. I didn't laugh then. And if someone that I knew cared not a whit for her had made jokes, I would have possibly gone against character and smacked them. My oldest sister and I sit at the back during funerals because our dark humor flows, but it's the funeral of loved ones, or of someone that a friend loved and who needs us there. The wakes we had for you were a riot. The jokes between you and X here are funny to me. But some who have not had a kind word to say about JFK, Jr. or his death or the media coverage are making jokes that in context do not sound like the dark humor of loved ones practicing irreverence. I'm shutting up now.

Oooh- I like that. I have always enjoyed being pickled. Probably more now than when I'm dead- but what the Hell.
