In each week's Deadspin Funbag, columnist Drew Magary picks an email of the week--and this week's is particularly amusing:
"Drew, my second favorite uncle died last month. He had set a good bit of money aside, well over $40,000 for friends and relatives to have a ‘special’ wake. His specific instructions were, 'I know you will cry and that’s okay. But I also want you to laugh and tell jokes and hug each other and, above all, GET LIT!' (That part was actually shouted by the dude who read the will.) For food we had: Steak. Burgers. Bar-b-que. Pizza. Beer. Soda. Milkshakes. Marijuana. A DJ. Ice cream cake. A bounce house for the kids. Fireworks. This is how every wake/death observance should go, right? It was one of the best times I’ve ever had, and that include all the times I’ve had sex."
Forget a funeral for me too, I want this... Although I won't have $40,000 to throw at it, sorry family!
