After the funeral of my dear partner's mother, as soon as the bagpipes
faded away, I heard the rector's self-satisfied comment, "I must say I do
put on a good funeral." I couldn't believe anyone would say that about
themselves, at the event itself. Lost any respect I had for her. Really
pathetic, and showed (IMHO) a badly skewed perspective.
