Flick: Funeral home drive-through viewing now!

It was 1930s humorist Will Rogers who once delivered the line, "All I know is what I read in the papers."

In the mid-20th century, he meant that to be humorous.

But in the 2000s?

Heck, with todays amazing news, who needs humorists? Yes, thanks to the news services and the country's leading newspapers, this is your latest installment of News Is Stranger Than Fiction:

Seizing on the popularity and convenience of drive-through windows at places like banks and fast-food restaurants, a funeral home in Saginaw, Mich., announced it was launching "drive-through viewing," too, after an elderly woman could not make it inside the home to attend her husbands services and the owner said he saw a growing need.

In Panama City, Fla., a U.S. Congressman running for re-election drew criticism when, in an off-handed comment, he touted attending women's lingerie parties as one way to show how he supports women.

In Davenport, Iowa, hailing the state's same-sex marriage law, a 91-year-old lesbian and her 90-year-old lesbian partner married, after 76 years of "dating."

"When you're on your knees at your father's funeral beside his casket, saying goodbye to him," said Dale Decker, "and you have nine orgasms right there while your whole family is standing behind you, it is not good."
