Gregg DesElms Snuffs It

[The Bison]

Elmer's significant other Mary-Anne, and his significant other-in-laws, mourning his death at All Souls Cemetery in Vallejo. Wait a minute, they all look pretty damn happy about it all, don't they? Especially Uncle there on the right. Looks more like a celebration to me. They probably are glad to be able to enjoy birthdays, confirmations, Heroes' Day, Bonifacio Day and Christmas from now on without having to invite that annoying jerk and listen to his pompous babbling all day.

In many cultures it is considered appropriate to laugh at funerals so that demons will not desire their spirits. I do not know about the Philippines but in much of Southeast Asia this is common.
