There is no way I want to be in a Hersh at full gallop at 43 miles an hour. It doesn't matter much whether I am alive or dead because there is no doubt that, whatever state I entered it, I will soon be the latter.

DUBLIN, Ireland - An Irish hearse driver has been fined for speeding -- while leading a funeral cortege.
Police ordered undertaker John Carr to pay an $102 fine and gave him two penalty points for driving at 69 kilometers per hours (43 mph) in a 50 km/hr zone.
Several other vehicles in the cortege -- on its way to a funeral in County Donegal, northwest Ireland -- were also fined and their drivers threatened with prosecution if they did not pay.

Didn't the cops know it was Miller Time?
I always said that feller would be late for his own funeral...
I guess he was dying to get home.
Trying to make it to the pub for the last round?

When I volunteered for an EMS, we had a call for a Heart attack at the cemetry. The hearse driver had a caridac arrest. As we were doing CPR the furenal director asked us if we could go thru the drivers pockets because he had hit the auto locks with the casket still inside.
that kind of sucked.
