If this little boy does not inspire you, I don’t know what will.

I’m still in total awe of this little boy who so unselfishly thought of others even in his last days! Please watch.

So today I was walking to work when I saw a funeral in progress at Forest Lawn cemetery. Since I was already wearing a suit (required for my job) and I was pretty early for work, I decided to pop in to see what was going on. I walked up the marble path, up to a rather large memorial service (about 250-300 people) for what appeared to be a baby that had died shortly after birth. The family really went all out, the tombstone was massive and the coffin had gold embroidering, really nice. The people looked about what you would expect, all dressed up, mothers were crying, and even a few fathers couldn’t hold back their tears.

Well about 15 minutes in, after the opening hymn, people started to filter up to the microphone to express their condolences to the family. The grandfather said some words about how everything is a blessing even if it doesn’t seem like it, the brother of the father reassured the family that, if they ever needed anything, that the family was there for them.

Then a man walked up, about in his late 40’s, and said “Although I don’t really know the family, or the deceased that well, I want to say, I’m sorry for your loss. I too have lost a child.” He walked from the mic, over to the families, shook their hand and walked away.

He didn’t know the family? So, it seemed ANYONE could say something at the funeral.

I straighted my tie, put on my most sorrowful expression, and walked towards the front. I approached the man holding the microphone and, in my most solemn tone, asked if I might say a few words. The man smiled warmly and handed me the microphone, completely oblivious to what was about to happen.

I turned to face the crowd, all intently looking at me with the most melancholy and tearful eyes you’ve ever seen. I cleared my throat and said my piece:

“What’s the difference between a dead baby and a sandwich? I DON’T **** A SANDWICH BEFORE I EAT IT!”

The crowd was horrified. The sound manager tried to unplug the speakers before I could finish my joke, but to no avail; he didn’t react fast enough and couldn’t get himself together before the punchline rang through the cemetery.

The crowd went ******* batshit. The reaction started with sheer shock and horror, and ended in a blind rage, with everyone, even some of the WWII veterans and grandmothers in the crowd, trying to tackle me to the ground.

Being that I was a football running back in high school, I was much faster than everyone there. Good thing too, God knows what would have happened if they caught me. Probably have thrown me into the grave with their failure of a living baby. I had to run around for a bit, but I eventually made my way to the western exit. I’ve never had so many lulz in my entire life.

very deep man. Makes you think about the time we take for granted, and how we should spend it helping others.

Thats just a satire. Quite well done although a few markers such as saying i hope a child dies soon on TV and decommisioning (Bah, I can’t spell. Too early) of an active fighter jet. Its an exerpt from “The Onion”

What a frightening thing for a child to have to go through…I’m glad he had a loving family around him as he went through the Leukemia, and the process of having to accept that he would soon be dying.

Touches my heart, I guess he figured if he can’t help himself then he can at least he could help others, before he goes. So so so sad. A valuable lesson for all of us… He will not be forgotten. RIP Brandon. You will be a beautiful angel!

LOL, that kid who bankrupted “Make a Wish Foundation” is very resourceful.

And the other kid, “I had a great time.”

That was nice of him, he looks high, lol. Seems like he’s got an old soul.

Um, are they going to continue to feed the homeless everyday?

NOW THAT woulda been newsworthy. But that other kid, roflmao!
