My father was extremely nervous about his first funeral service as a Navy chaplain, but the undertaker assured him that he would prompt him. All went well until, at the close, the undertaker whispered to him to instruct the family to come up and view the body. “Will the family now come forward and pass around the bier,” said my father. He cringed inwardly when he heard his own words. Later, as my father was leaving, he overheard two of the cemetery workers talking. “I didn’t get any beer,” one said. “Did you?” “You heard the chaplain,” the other replied. “It was just for the family.”

Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?

What movie is this quote from??? “That place at the base of a woman’s throat? You know – the hollow here – does that have an official name?”  “Good God, man, pull yourself together.”

Answer: The English Patient! In this scene Hungarian-born mapmaker Count Laszlo de Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) and his friend Maddox (Julian Wadham) are walking through a market area in Cairo, Egypt. Almásy is having a love affair with Katharine Clifton (Kristin Scott Thomas) and remembers how he had kissed the depression at the base of her throat and had said at the time, “This – what’s it called? This place, I love it!” While he and Maddox are in the market area, Almásy asks Maddox the question in line one. Maddox looks surprised and replies with line two (but later in the movie tells Almásy it’s called the suprasternal notch).

“The English Patient” tells the story of Count Almásy, who is badly burned in an airplane crash. Through a series of flashbacks while he is recovering, he remembers his prior life and the affair he had with Katharine Clifton.
