fredxmertzIf you ever laugh when a hearse goes by,
then you will be the next to die.
They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
and drop you six feet underneath.
They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks,
And all goes well, for about a week,
And then the coffin begins to leak!
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A great big worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes,
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead!
be merry my friends, be merry!

Is that a Mertz creation?

the picture is Marion Berry, the former DC mayor, behind a podium throwing the sign of the devil horns with a truly evil grin. this is the guy who was caught on tape smoking crack with a hooker and then got re-elected!
some of his classic quotes:
First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second, what can I say? I'm a night owl.
I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where's Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less.
I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria or Israel. As mayor, I am an international symbol. Can you deny that to Africa?
I promise you a police car on every sidewalk.
I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves. The Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the 1600's. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican.
If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate.
People blame me because these water mains break, but I ask you, if the water mains didn't break, would it be my responsibility to fix them then?
People have criticised me because my security detail is larger than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are.
The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were black, were the ultimate sacrifice.
The contagious people of Washington have stood firm against diversity during this long period of increment weather.
The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist.
God Bless Marion Berry!
