Awkward pause?
Open mouth, insert foot.
With all due respect, I'm not quite sure why he would want to buy multiple copies of his son's obit.
That is just so wrong... so funny, but so wrong.
reallybadpoetry - i know someone whose mother recently died, and i know he bought a couple of copies for himself and for family. it's a pretty normal thing.
