The Funeral Parlor

Funeral parlour A man who has spent his whole life as a seafarer inherited his uncle´s funeral home, s his uncle had said. The business was rather slow he had to advertise making it sound enticing- So, he wrote in the local paper:” If you die here there is 5% off all caskets” and a smiling girl in shorts pointing to a nice coffin. After two months and no business, he rang his shipping office wanted his old job back. No wonder, the shipping clerk said you should not write death, but “pass over” Oh!!! No one told me this and anyway I have closed the business the coffins are full of dust.
