I recall listening to someone joking at a funeral and told my father, "How could I even smile at that?" and he explained that death and loss sometimes do bring about attempts at humor and a will to see light at the end of the tunnel.

My brother spoke at the funeral of his best friend, who died snorkeling in the South Pacific. His accomplished engineer friend was a master farter, and everyone knew him for his skill. The funniest part was where the friend once dropped a box on a co-workers desk. The co-worker opened it and recoiled from the contents: one award-winning fart.

My brother had everyone rolling in the aisles.
