Yogi Berras Quote Makes Me Laugh

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours." Yogi Berra I read it and I laughed, and each time I laughed, recognizing it for its humor. Why would we care who or whether anyone comes to our funeral? Unless we throw it for ourselves ahead of time. Which I always thought was a better idea anyway Especially if we have a disease like bone cancer, and we know we are dying. All of our friends could collect at the pub or the church And say good things about us To me this is the only reason anyone should actually to a funeral. When the guest of honor is gone no one knows you anyway Of course if you are from a small town it is a social gathering Four funerals a week would not be too many for those people It beats watching people from their porch swings
