"The husband of your best friend has hung himself over the crib of
their third child and you're in charge of the wake. Of course you're
having a shitload of
guests over. You've lit long aromatic candles and purchased a ham from
the supermarket and the still mourning wife of the deceased has brought with
her (to the wake) home-made mashed
potatoes. Additionally you've put out about a dozen signed (by the
widow) poster size color photographs of the dead man hanging above the crib
(police photographs, one shot even shows the child in the crib playing with
her fathers hanging shoelaces) and everyone is eating and talking and just
plain enjoying
themselves. They'll probably talk about your wake for a day
or two. But, they'll talk about your wake for years
when they see this painting hanging on the wall in your bathroom."
-Norm Augustinus
