Putting The Fun Into Funeral

(I work as a writer on a small website. Once a week the writers and the site’s owner get together on Skype for a meeting to brainstorm ideas.)

Boss: “Sorry, guys, you’re on your own for the meeting tonight. Something came up.”

Me: “Are you okay? It’s not serious, is it?”

Boss: “I’m going to a viewing for [Person]. I wasn’t going to go, but their widow said she didn’t want to go alone, and I can’t turn her down.”

Coworker: “Okay. Have fun.”

Me: “… Did you just tell her to have fun at a viewing?”
