Son Hires Stripper for Dad’s Funeral

This story is actually sort of sweet.  A son made a bet with his aging father that if the old guy lived to 100 he’d hire a stripper for his funeral. Old guy made it to 103! It sounds as though his 103 years were vibrant and happy as he was able to travel around to strip shows and walk a long way to vote before expiring (according to FOX news reports anyway).  Cheers and farewell.

Not the stripper. Not the dead guy.

Man hires stripper for father’s funeral

A man has honoured his dead father’s wishes by hiring a stripper for his funeral.

Taiwan’s United Daily News reports Cai Jinlai – who had a fondness for strip clubs – was promised an exotic dancer for his funeral if he lived to 100.

When he died at 103, leaving behind 100 descendants, his son Cai Ruigong filled his father’s wishes.

Ruigong told the newspaper that he paid more than NZ$210 for the stripper’s 10-minute performance around the coffin.

“He would travel around the island with his friends to see these [strip] shows,” he said.
