The premise

Here’s the bit.

At the funeral of Jimmy Burke, a friend at the podium earnestly remembers fishing trips and good times and admits nobody knows how the tragedy happened. In the front row, a blonde mourner catches the eye of a woman seated a few rows back, and the two begin a soundless exchange of exaggerated mouthing and frantic hand signals that makes it increasingly clear they are the ones responsible. The pantomime escalates until the blonde gets up mid-eulogy, walks to the open casket, props up the dead man's head and acts out the deed on the body itself, while her accomplice struggles to keep from laughing. The oblivious speaker closes by assuring everyone that Jimmy is finally at rest.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

And now, well, no one really knows what happened or how this tragedy took place.

Sometimes the only fish we caught were the ones in the supermarket, but we always managed to have a great time.

Yes, a terrible act took place, and we may never have the answers.
