Year DOESN’T End After NFDA? | FFFW 205


DISCLAIMER: None of the F’s in FFFW stand for “facts.” Enjoy the jokes and satire.

Yo! It’s Septemeber 20th. You know what that means, right? That’s means it’s “National String Cheese Day,” and also “National Tradesmen Day.” If we combined the two… things might get wild. Specifically for tradesmen with dairy reactions.

Anyway. Y’all didn’t come here to talk cheddar- so let’s move on with the FFFW?

REPORT: Funeral Director Confused that the Year Doesn’t End After NFDA

In an unexpected turn of events, local funeral director Mark Reaves was spotted staring bewilderedly at his calendar last week, mumbling, “Wait, what do you mean there’s still two more months of the year?”

The confusion set in shortly after the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) conference wrapped up. Reaves, like many of his peers, assumed that after the big event, everything just kind of…stops. “I thought this was our off-season!” he exclaimed, puzzled by the idea that funeral homes don’t just hibernate until January.

Reaves has reportedly been seen going store to store, staring at all the calendars. “My whole life has been a lie,” he muttered.
