Even though they start with the same first three letters there are two words that don't usually go together: "Funeral" and "Funny". Except in my world.

Many of you know I lost my father-in-law Crawford Kitchen last weekend. He was one of the best people I ever knew. We really are a poorer planet without him on it...with metal detector in hand. My sons Justin and Travis were able to join me at the funeral home.

There we were, surrounded by family and friends and I reached into my pocket to check the time on my cellphone. Keep in mind This is the first time I have worn this suit since I was in "Dancing With the Tri-State Stars".

When I pulled my phone out of my suit jacket pocket, along with it came a handful...of glitter. As the little bits of tinsel floated to the carpet, all eyes turned to watch. It was all over the place.

The boys and I scrambled to pick it up, and as we did, Justin said: "Pawpaw would have loved this." And he was right. He would have. I think from now on, if anybody asks...I'm gonna tell them I did it on purpose.      --CLINT
