Not to make light of people loosing their homes, but there has to be a better way of titling this article.
Im w Jay on the title
I'm glad no one was killed.
Reminds me of when my family's funeral home caught fire. We had all sorts of jokes about it.
Well ya know that the funeral business is a dying profession.
Maybe it's a east coast/west coast thing. People here just don't live in funeral homes. Although, I hear they are dying to get in ;)
I had to look at this, maybe an add for Leno
