You people have no respect for the dead!
Okay, this is totally outable, but WTF. My dear departed father was an avid boater; those were his happiest times. Before the wake, my brother put together a few family photos to display, including a shot of dad at the helm of his boat. My brother enlarged that photo, which was originally a 3.5 X 3.5 print -- to about 8X12. This photo was shot as dad was moving slowly through the channel out of the marina into the bay. There's a sign behind dad's head near the buoys, but you couldn't make out what it said in the small photo. The letters are clear as day on the enlargement, however. It said
Dead Slow. No Wake.
My brother put it on the table at the wake right next to the casket, and people stopped to look at it before they paid their respects. I wish we'd had a camera to record the double takes.
