\*\*11 hours without peeing!!! \*\* :eek: :eek: :eek: Next time a president dies and they want you to film it, get a catheter or better yet, pee in front of the camera with ABC written on your schlong for the campers back in the control room to see. Thanks for sharing your day with us. ( In honor of the President’s funeral, I went shopping at Target. I won’t bore you with the details of my wandering kid-less and husband-less around the store, but I think all funerals should be spend this way. 🙂 ) ---

It was a bit chilly out… the campers would have seen " A. C. " Now we know what Shakespeare was talkin’ about when he said, " To B or not to B". Shrinkage. 😛 ---

Yep, those protestors had to be the Phelps clan. It was the bit with the American flag, not just the signs, that said it. They fly the US flag upside down, and often drag it around, trample on it, and so on. I just hope that there was no film coverage of them that actually made it onto our televisions. I didn’t think all that much of Reagan as a president, but by God I respect the office and he deserved the show if he wanted it. And if I’d had a “part” in the hoo-rah, I would have performed it willingly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-will-be-front-and-center-at-reagans-funeral/249686.md?page=1)
