A large mechanical frog?
« on: September 07, 2007, 09:08:33 AM »
WTF is that all about then? Letter in Saturday's Torygraph. See also: Please come to the funeral dressed in football kit.



Quote
Sir - As a crematorium organist, I see, hear and have to play too many awful things (Letters, August 30).

We get travesties of Somewhere over the Rainbow and Danny Boy sung by wailing pop singers; mourners who are embarrassed to be there; men in shirt-sleeves with the tails hanging out; gum-chewing; noisy chatter and laughter; clergy asked to take a service without mentioning God.

One funeral recently ended with a large mechanical croaking frog being placed on the coffin. The lack of dignity and respect is appalling.

I think as they all had to come in football kit the least they could have done was arrange a match at the graveyard afterwards?  whistle:

It could explain a few things  point:
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Where can you get hold of a large mechanical croaking frog, anyway? It's our wedding anniversary this weekend.

I bought Mr Wench a motion sensor ceramic croaking frog from The Natural World a few years ago.  redface:
