Great Balls

They all think at work, that, because I am a musician, I am the ideal chap to play requested tracks off CD's at Funerals. The last time I did this, I asked the verger if the equipment was ready. He said it was but there were no lights in the room that I was using it in? I managed to open the CD tray and put the CD in, all by feel. I set the track to the requested one. As the bearers and family started to come into Church, I pressed play, only to hear a completely different CD and Artist singing heavy Rock Music, and not the Ave Maria as requested????? You could smell the fear in the room I was in. Some quick thinking, and I realised that someone (The Verger) had forgotten to take a CD out, and I had put mine on top of that. Stressful this Undertaking lark.
