Jun. 10th, 2004 09:35 amI've been given the distinct impression that dead-president jokes are not appreciated in this house. Poooo....
But really, how else am I supposed to handle my parents asking me every five minutes, "Why aren't you watching the president? This is history!"?
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I can't quite see the historical significance of an old president's funeral. Noteworthy? Yes, I can see that. I ahve taken note that he is dead. But historical? Riiiight.
So yeah, my parents seem a bit annoyed at me for making jokes about him getting up and dancing if they stare at the casket long enough and stuff like taht. But I wouldn't ahve bugged them if they didn't keep bugging me. They should just learn to let me be.
On a related note, I had this insane idea of a Dead President Black Market. ("Dead presidents will get you dead presidents!") You could buy Lincoln's left index finger, a lock of Kennedy's hair....Stuff like that! ^^; I told my mom THAT was the reason the casket had such high security. :P She was not amused.
