Asleep At The Wake

Many years ago, after a hard day at work and not getting much sleep the night before because of kidney stone pains in my back, I found myself standing in line to view the corpse of a co-worker who had suddenly passed away. It was a struggle to suppress the many yawns that kept attempting to escape. Two of my other co-workers were in line in front of me and were talking about the deceased and some of the good things he had done. Finally, one asked the other: 'What do you want people to say about you at your funeral? ' The response: 'I want people to say that I was a good father and was always there for my children.' The other said: 'I would like them to say that I was a good employee and an asset to my company.' At this point I was awake enough to come up with: 'I want someone to point at the casket and say, 'Look! I think he's moving! '
