[Apparently, for reasons known only to the Chinese, having strippers at your funeral is illegal!](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5280312.stm) > [@](#): > > Five people have been detained in China for running striptease send-offs at funerals, state media say. > > The once-common events are held to boost the number of mourners, as large crowds are seen as a mark of honour. > > But the arrests, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, could signal the end of the rural tradition. Why the _hell_ **wouldn’t** you want strippers at your funeral? Make a note of this, folks, when I pass, before you ship my mortal remains off to the Moon for burial, I want _tits a poppin’!_ 😛 ---

Hah, if I brought Chippies to Mom’s funeral, we might just have to call the Vatican. “Uh, sir? Yeah, we’re calling about a woman coming back from the dead… yes, sir, she was double-flat and had been properly enbalsamated, but she got out of her coffin with some difficulty, grabbed the big Easter candle from its holder and started beating the strippers with it… uh, what strippers, you say? Uh, well…”
