How many mourners would a * funeral draw?
I am struck by the staggering number of mourners, pilgrims, heads of state, et al, who felt a need to appear and pay their respects to John Paul II. Would * be able to fill the neighborhood Taco Bell?

2. Most of the staff of Haliburton would probably attend --
-- those who were not in the slammer, at least.

And maybe his mom.

And Ann Coulter.

3. Oh I'd go
Just to be sure he was in the coffin.
Then I'd leave.

4. I don't know, but it would draw billions of celebrants.
He's the most hated man in the world - it would be a giant international party for god's sake!

6. I'd go..............
and stay just long enough to see how high the blood spurts when they drive the stake through his paltry heart.

9. There are those who talk the talk, then there are those who walk the walk
Bush* is the former, and John Paul II was the latter. I suspect the number of true mourners at Bush's* funeral would fit in a phone booth...

11. On reflection, while I'd bag the funeral ..
I would make it a point to kill a sixpack or two and then visit the gravesite (with no toilet break in between).

13. He'll never die.
Given the chance the "Culture of Life" would hook him to enough machines to keep his lifeless corpse "alive" into infinity.
