Man gets stripper at funeral

Talk about male fantasies. Cai Ruigong hired a fancy stripper for his daddy’s funeral, paying her roughly $160 to do her thing in front of his coffin!
Sure, I found it a bit shocking at first. But then, according to one of the articles, Taiwanese culture is quite relaxed about stripping. And that it’s somewhat common to bring in, to quote Pratchett, these “seam-stressing” ladies; it reels in more mourners.
Anyway, the story goes that Cai Jinlai’s son had vowed to hire a stripper for the final farewell event if daddy-o lived to be a 100.
And that he did. Come to think of it, Cai Jinlai sounds a bit like a raunchy old grandpa; apparently he was an ardent fan of strip joints and used to travel around with his buds, visiting various clubs.
Where does this man get his energy from? He passed away at the age of 103 after a three mile walk into town to vote.

Wow! What a custom!
Well I say that the son hired the stripper for his father three years late. Dad should have gotten his “present” when he turned 100, just like the son promised. Now Dad will never know what he missed.
What a shame.
