Ashes at the MET

Post by arminhachmer »

Where does this belong? Do we have a category for the (macabre?) or is it? Someone spread the ashes of a deceased benefactor of the Met around the orchestra pit at intermission yesterday. I cant quite categorize that act. What do You think?
Is it silly, funny, idiotic, rude, selfish, just plain demented? A sign of the times perhaps? What could a comedy writer do with this? I cant come up with one single acceptable joke on this, not even a one liner. Oh well, back to tuba practice.

I bet it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'm sure a good vacuuming will take care of the problem. :roll:

When was the last time YOUR pit was vacuumed?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
