mexican funeral
A funeral where the body is disposed of not by burial or by cremation, but by using a large catapult to fling it into a neighboring country. It is illegal in the US, but due to its low cost it flourishes as a black market mortuary sideline in the American southwest, and to a lesser extent along the Canadian border where its use is more often for entertainment.
My cleaning lady had to go back to Arizona to bail her husband out of jail. Apparently he was involved in a mexican funeral ring, and one of the deceased turned out to be involved in an unsolved murder. So now there's going to be a big hoo-hah, an investigation and such. Do you know any good cleaning ladies?
