If the clacker thing you speak is the same "clicker" nuns used in elementary school, yes it's been done, but not at a funeral, merely to get the students to stand and sit,etc. I'd not want them at my funeral, tho' preferable to hired mourners, too many bad experiences with the nunny poos. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: bricaleur BranShea #199777 05/11/2011 3:35 PM Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass tsuwm Carpal Tunnel tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass Originally Posted By: BranShea Oh yes!
