Titty bars in the evenings only, not the mourning:

As well as ordering an end to the practice, officials have also said residents can report "funeral misdeeds" on a hotline, earning a reward for information.
Good call  :thumbs_up:
(pun intended)

I can't figure out which bit I think is more odd:  The fact that they are trying to crack down on it, or the fact that people actually hire strippers for funerals.   Interesting.

I'm going to have to rewrite my will again.

Going to be tough to work strippers into a viking-style funeral...I know. Valkyrie!

I wish I wasn't going to be dead, it'll be teh awesome.

I know we don't know each other and stuff, but can I come to your funeral?

It's kind of funny but sad, too, no?   I mean think of all the dead people who are not going to be properly honoured because no strippers showed up to their funeral.
