The WORST thing you can do at a funeral

Hello my friends and welcome back to the show I call my life! Today we will be talking about the worst thing you can do at a funeral, lets introduce our first guest of the show Russhelle....( everyone applauds)...Thank you Russhelle it's nice to be here on this beautiful Spring day...Oh yes it is a beautiful Spring day, but let's cut to the chase, I believe you're here today to tell us all another story from your crazy life; is this right?....why yes it is Russhelle...it's actually a recent story that I thought everyone would have a laugh hearing...okay then; well let's hear about it: Okay it was last week on April 9th, an old family relative had just past away ( no this isn't the funny part guys, this is actually pretty sad) she was my mothers cousin and from what I learned was a very special lady! She lived the first part of her life in England and then When she was a teenager, her family moved back to California and this is where she lived until the day she died. she laughed, she cried and above all else, she loved with her whole heart..there were a lot of people there and it was only the wake..the service was beautiful and the priest announced that they will play a peaceful song to help us "meditate and heal" as the song played, everyone fell silent, some cried, others held their loved ones a little bit closer, everyone seemed so peaceful and as soon as the song ended, there at that VERY moment in the midst of the silence all you hear is....."HEY YO PHONE IS RINGIN, PICK UP YO PHONE....HEELLLOOOO....YO PHONE YEA IT'S RINGIN!!!! ( said In a comedic Dave Chappelle like voice) that's right all, the comedic part of me has a weakness towards funny ringtones and set as my notification for whenever I receive text messages is a loud mouth street hood gentleman yelling at me to pick up my phone and the absent minded person that I am, forgot to turn it off before the service started...so here I am scrambling through all the junk in my purse trying to find the darn contraption all the while it's getting louder and louder, I finally find it after what seemed like an eternity and if that wasn't enough I couldn't turn it off if my life depended on it!!! At this moment people started shaking their heads, turning around to see who could be so rude? My dad is telling me....Russ turn it off! But all you can hear out of me was... "Answer Yo phone....hello...yo phone is ringin....yea!!!!!" I'm completely red in the face now desperately attempting to turn it off with no success..so finally I gave up and ran out of that church like a bat on fire and all you hear behind me is "Yo..pick up yo phone!" In short dear friends, everyone got a little laugh out of it, but out of respect for the church, the family in mourning and anything holy...PLEASE make sure to turn off your phone before going into church!.....until next time....

  1. Ooo Russhelle how sad and funny, I too have had my phone go off with a funny ring tone in a movie theater I had to high tail it out of there, before the movie goers tried to hurt me. I learned to turn if off fast, “Lessen well learned”.
