I've lost count.

No really, I have completely lost track of how many funerals I've been to. Last year I counted up, then checked with my mother and found out I'd forgotten a few. This year I'm not even going to try

I hope that's the last funeral you have to go to for a long time.

Me too. :/

guess who gets the blame for getting us lost?
Next time, don't offer to help. No good deed goes unpunished.

then have to endure some ridiculous phraseology in the service that almost has me collapsing into peals of laughter.
Oh please, do tell?

Trick is, I kinda wanted to get to the hotel too, and if I hadn't taken the map and tried to help, I'd've been shouted at for doing nothing. :/ Can't win, sometimes.

I know a few of my friends are religious, so I mean it with no malice, but I can't take sermons seriously any more. Particularly not when the priest in question talks about God knowing us all *intimately*. And then, with terrible, terrible emphasis, repeats that "God loved us into being!"

I almost lost it. So did my brother. And it was seeing him biting his lip from the corner of my eye that had me fighting laughter so hard I could hardly breathe. Fortunately my desperate little not-quite-giggles sounded like tearful sniffs to everybody else. My brother said he had a handkerchief ready to shove at me if anybody turned around.

Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I know, several of mine are as well. I understand, I try not to mock their faiths. I only ask they respect my lack of it. Still, intimately? That's good stuff.

I'm glad you were able to contain it. ;)
