I love the hammer metaphor. Much better than my crayon one. Just goes to show what our respective parents trusted us with. It's just amazing that I somehow didn't injure myself with a crayon -- they were pretty sharp coming out of the box... @Marie, I love your idea: a funeral service with a sense of humor. (What a great way to differentiate in that industry!) When my time comes, I'd like to have a stand-up comic presiding. We all gotta go sometime -- might as well do it with a smile. “If I had a Twitter, I’d Twitter in the morning, I’d Twitter in the evening, and all the day long…”

There are many things about the industry that are baffling. You wouldn't want to be all light and breezy and "joke of the day" on Twitter with such a company, but you could certainly address sensitive topics and topics that are ancillary to funeral services (hospitals, florists, what to say to someone who suffers a loss, etc.).
