Humanist

I was at a humanist funeral ceremony yesterday. Performed by an excellent lady from the Scottish Humanist Society.

The great Tam Mcginn, a gentleman and a gentle man sadly died aged only 57. He wasn't a believer in God but he was very much a believer in his fellow man. Tam was a great human being. He was certainly a humanist.

Driving home my Mum asked me if I would like a humanist funeral. Presumably she meant when I was dead! I replied that I wasn't sure I liked humans very much either. Not missing a beat she suggested I call the Scottish Canine Society. Perhaps they would put me down humanely.

Mothers can be so cruel!
