A lot of people say that, but I can't think of a time where it was ever in question.
"So, do you like funerals?"
"Oh yeah! Funerals ROCK!"
Jeremy said he didn't like funerals in a conversation we had the other day. I kind of laughed and said "um, do you know anyone who does?" He was like "oh, right."
"I have an excellent idea. Let's change the subject!!!"
I'm feeling a lot better about my guess at Alyse's birth day. For a while I thought that there was no way she'd be born on February 1st, since Charlotte has seemed so close for so long. Now I'm feeling very, very, very, very, very, very, very optimistic. Oh man, if she has Alyse on the second, I hope she doesn't have a Phil Connors experience. Ouch.

The funeral issue is one, I feel, that really strikes at the heart of exactly how unnecessary humankind can be. Case in point, people need not say "I don't like funerals" because, we would assume, that would be the standard human attitude by default—simply because enjoying funerals would be tantamount to enjoying the fact that people die and other people subsequently celebrate that fact.
Don't get me wrong—I am positive there is a huge population out there that makes funeral-going a hobby, but I maintain it is not necessary for the norm to be distinguished from the riffraff of society.
Especially those whom we know and love so well. Take Jeremy for instance. If you had noticed an increase in his attendance of random funerals, he may need to make the comment, "I don't like funerals" so that we would not suspect that he actually liked going to them—in which case he would probably be lying, so it's all pointless any way you look at it.
