Funeral Frolics

In the palestinian (not so well) controlled territories, if you are at a funeral and dead, you are not necessarily the person being buried.

A member of Islamic Jihad named Hussein Al-Buji was killed on Wednesday after fighting erupted during a funeral procession for an Islamic Jihad leader wounded in similar clashes in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Islamic Jihad accused police affiliated with the de facto Gaza Strip government of firing on the procession after children threw stones at the Tal Sultan police station while the mourning Palestinians were passing.

At least it’s relatively easy to add another body and continue mourning. It’s a lot harder switching moods.

    Usually, they get killed accidentally from the guns being shot to commemorate the event.

    I have an idea!

    Imagine inviting hundreds of them to a kiddush with not enough kugel on the table.
