Don't sit next to Elton John

OK, this is just creepy. This excerpt from the Onion is supposedly from 1997, but I guess it's possible that they went back and added a line or two... although why I couldn't say.

Elton John Wows Mother Teresa Funeral Crowd With 'The Bitch Is Back'
CALCUTTA?More than 12,000 mourners were treated to a performance of "The Bitch Is Back" by Elton John at Mother Teresa's funeral Saturday. The delighted mourners, clapping their hands and swaying from side-to-side in time with the song's pounding, rollicking barrelhouse piano, joined John in singing the song's refrain, "Bitch, bitch / The bitch is back," dozens of times. "This is the perfect tribute to Mother Teresa," said Sister Nirmala, Mother Teresa's successor as leader of the Missionaries of Charity Order. "The bitch is indeed back with God." John, who sat next to Princess Diana at Gianni Versace's funeral and sat next to Mother Teresa at Princess Diana's funeral, was seated next to former Beatle George Harrison at Mother Teresa's funeral, fueling speculation that Harrison will perish next Tuesday in a fiery helicopter crash.</font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>

OK, so they were off by four years, but still...

Man, that is freaky! Who was he sitting next to at Harrison's funeral?

[erisesoteric]

Not sure... how's Dubya lookin' these days?

[Branflakes]

That is weird.

Here's hoping Dubya was nearby. Wait, then Cheney would have to step up. *shiver*

[usmu]

Here's to hoping he was on the sitting on the other side.

Elton John... angel of death... it sort of works, doesn't it?
