It was funny to some extent but it also made me sad.
I was actually buying it for a minute and then with the punch line I was tossed right back into how uncaring people are for each other in this country.
Its kind of right on the point.
So many now hate their fellow human beings and treat them like the contents of a septic tank.
Ah, lighten up Francis!
TruthDon'tMatter is so focused on her hatred of anyone who doesn't march lockstep with her ridiculous political 'opinions' (which are received via the left wing media and require no actual thought from her own limited intellect) that even a joke is an opportunity to create yet more hatred.
She's full of shit... much like that poor, lonely, septic tank that she mourns over.
you would not believe me any more than I believe what you claim.
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral
director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no
family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in
the Kentucky back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a
typical man, I didn't stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently
gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers
and crew left and they were eating lunch.
I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the
side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in
place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers
put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my
heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.
I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as
I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept,
we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and
started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I
never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic
tanks for twenty years."
Apparently I'm still lost.... it's a man thing
JERK!

I am not interested in the food fight, but damn, come on; it was just a joke.
It wasn't even a cruel joke played at someone elses expense. It was just a funny story that most anyone could get a chortle out of.
I did.
im on board with you thereIts kind of right on the point.

It's a fucking JOKE, you idiot. Can't you just enjoy the comedy without your stupid social commentary?
Reiman, 63, arrived in Sheridan on Nov. 8 after a three-day bus ride from a Southern California community for homeless veterans. He traveled to Wyoming with just a backpack that contained Bruce Springsteen CDs, a cellphone, a laptop, an iPod, two identification cards, a copy of his birth certificate and his Navy discharge papers. He also carried Springsteen's memoir "Born to Run," Natrona County Coroner Connie Jacobson said. A few days later he fell ill at a motel and was eventually taken to Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, where he died on Nov. 17, Jacobson has said. Nobody visited Reiman in the hospital.
Jacobson initially had difficulty finding any family and after three days said she hoped people from the community would attend Reiman's funeral to mark his passing. "One of the reasons I did this was to raise community awareness that we have homeless vets in our own communities," Jacobson said. "They deserve the same recognition and honor that any other vet would get." After a week of searching, Jacobson located Reiman's sister, who said she hadn't heard from her brother in at least two years. Diane Reiman said she didn't know why he had come to Wyoming, but said he worked as a firefighter in Casper for a few years in the late 1970s or early 1980s and enjoyed his time in the state.

Diane Reiman said nurses at the hospital assured her they were with him when he died and he didn't suffer. "That was so important to me, being a nurse myself. He was remembered even though he was isolated and we had lost touch with him for so long," Diane Reiman told K2 Radio. "He was cared for in a very special way by a lot of special people." Pastor Rob Peterson said during the service he was proud that so many people showed up to honor Reiman. "He was a man who lived a solitary life for many, many years, but at his final goodbye there is a room full of community," said Peterson, who is a chaplain in the Army National Guard.
Reiman was in the Navy from 1971 to 1975, served with honor in Vietnam and told a Veterans Affairs doctor he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and alcoholism exacerbated by the death of his only son in combat in Iraq, Jacobson said she learned while trying to find his family. Jacobson also was able to locate Reiman's daughter-in-law and her daughter — Reiman's only grandchild — but they could not afford to travel to the funeral, she said.
