My relative was killed by a mass murderer and all I got was this lousy t-shirt
You got a t-shirt?
A T-shirt?
All I got was this bunch of old plastic flowers
marked Paul Wellstone Memorial Tribute.
I hate to laugh at a time like this but that was funny...rotflol!
You bad. LOL!
If someone's relative dies in one of these tragic events that politicians latch on to and then attend one of these memorials, that says a lot about their family and upbringing.
No matter how it happened, you go to your church or funeral home for the service. You bury the dead in the family cemetary, you have a dinner either at home with family and friends or at the parish hall, and maybe go out quietly for drinks with loved ones later.
That's it, always, no matter what. Any thing else is an indication of low class.
