Perfect eulogy. I think a funeral should be a celebration of a persons life and if it turns into a lighthearted roast, so be it. I guess I agree with punk of ages....people take things much to seriously. There's nothing wrong with merriment and the reason most people don't like jokes about the dead is it makes them feel uncomfortable (the audience, not the dead person). They don't know if they can laugh or if they're supposed to act offended. Few things make people more mad than being socially awkward. I think people get more upset at being awkward than at the joke itself. The Onion example? Perfect. Especially in light of the fact that they never found the plane, or any parts of it, or any evidence whatsoever that it existed in the first place...but I digress....
