0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 It has to be a lawyer! 1) Nobody wants a lawyer ruining a funeral, it's probably their fault anyways. 2) You'll get sued if you joke around with a lawyer. 3) They cost a flippin' fortune. 4) Rule of thumb: People with lawyers typically win court cases more than people without.

There! I win this time! Cookie!! Suure, just tell me how a lawyer who is worth a bundle also offers the cheapest way to pay? And you know the dead guy's son could be a lawyer. and his sister. And you want them gone from the funeral. Imagine. No cookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Here is a my FIRST BIG HINT, for those who want it I mentioned the funeral only because I needed to make an additional clarification, as in make a distinction between something appropriate vs inappropriate, where the two are actually very similar but in this setting quite different.

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't know why, but "Thank you" is jumping out at me. It fits a few lines. Can be said in jest, but it would be said at a funeral, but in the capacity of "thank you for coming" I dunno, just spitballing here.

Though I am worth a bundle, I do regret to say, No one yet has beaten mine, in cheaper ways to pay. I know when I'm wrong, but I'm thinking aloud, here: I'm thinking along the lines of happiness. which doesn't really fit the last line Money, which just seems all wrong still thinking, I think my thoughts (not my answers) are starting to drift in the right direction.

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Silence? Except at a funeral, I am a welcome guest. (silence means people have nothing to say about you) Those who want me, honestly, Leave little room for jest.

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 How? In what way? That doesn't work at a funeral? I am not saying no, I'm asking you to narrow down. people at funerals whose family members died don't really want people to sympathize with them i guess, cause it makes them feel worse. . .?
