Been to tens of catholic funerals. Funeral lasts 45min-1hr if a mass is included. Fortunately in my family they are Irish funerals so it's more like a party with a brief rest at the funeral mass.

Scot, if you haven't picked up on it, that was a not-so-subtle hint that she wants to meet you. She has something you want and you can bring Mt. Dew so that you have something she wants.

You do not want to attend a Russian Othodox one unless you have all day free.
I've been asked to sing at one. . . I couldn't make it, but my buddy who took the gig (a pickup choir of 20 to add to the church's choir) said he was there most of the day. . . but the food was GREAT!!!

The many, many, many shots of vodka aren't bad either.

I used to do funeral details when I was in the NAVY. We would have to be in formation at attention before the first person arrives until the last person leaves the cemetary. Its difficult to stand in the sun, rain, wind and bugs for over 2 hours without being able to move freely. It was even more emotional to hand over a folded flag to a widow who is crying beyond control while keeping your presentation clean and flawless. I been to a funeral where no one arrived at all. I never want to do that job ever again. Mountain dew is always nice though!

Nah - everyone knows the NSX is a has-been, a coulda-been, and a shoulda-been.

I'll take it off your hands, though, to save you the embarassment of driving it.
