The Grammys..
Red Carpet Event
A State Funeral…California
What will they be celebrating at the Grammys? The state of California
Funeral.
An expensive gathering of family and friends to observe a corpse, state that the deceased "looks good" in his or her coffin, gossip over how the person died, and then cast lots to divide any remaining assets.
Often many of the attendees haven't had contact with the deceased in years but now believe that appearing at the funeral to show support actually matters to a dead person or the truly bereaved.
Mark: Man, if I hear one more person say that Uncle Ray "looks good" in his coffin tonight during funeral calling hours I'm gonna flip out!
Jake: I know, right?! That bone cancer ate him away and he weighed 47 lbs when he died! Makes no sense!
