Jack Flash

We have our own small Chapel, where Funeral Services can be held. When this happens I usually get the job of playing CD's for the service (they think that because I play Trombone, that I am a bloody DJ as well?)
I tested the CD to be played and all was well. The in going tune was to be 'Heartbeat' from the Tv series. As the Coffin was brought in I started the CD. It should have been Heartbeat but was more like Tachycardic??? as the music was jumping all over the place. This was started by the rather large derriere of a bearer who banged into the table the player was sitting on. During the service I very quietly removed the CD and cleaned it ready for the outgoing track. All went well until a mourner brushed against the player on their way out and off went the 'jumping tracks' again.
. When one of the family members complained,the Funeral Director blamed me!!!! I have broad shoulders so took it on the chins!!.
However after the service I once again played the music and swung the CD player around my head, banged it, kicked it and the blinking CD did not jump once. My only other theory is that the deceased did not like the choice of music??? and were showing there displeasure by making the tracks jump.

Here's a thought. Why can't you buy Mouse Flavoured Cat food??
