Kibuye: On Building a Morgue

FROM ERIC

One of my more juvenile (though, I suspect, not unusual) memories is being in a group of teenage guys talking about various pranks that we thought would be funny. In the macabre manner of a 16 year-old kid, one guy talked about placing a speaker behind a coffin at a funeral to say something ridiculous and freak people out. Sadly for the prankster, even a bunch of immature teenage boys didn't think they would do that to anyone after they had passed away. Another guy generously spoke up: "You can do that at my funeral! What do I care? I'll be long gone!"
