Today I went to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in South Boston for a Photoshop seminar. The place is three stories of HUGE. I had a difficult time locating my NAPP seminar. The security people there kept directing me to the NFDA exhibition even though I repeatedly spelled out N-A-P-P !!! They thought I should have a NFDA badge. The NFDA people were all mature adults in black suits or very conservative business attire. You never see Photoshop guys in suits. It's all nice casual across a very diverse age range. Finally, after several misguided and somewhat lost attempts, I found my NAPP group on the third level. YAY! Well........At lunch time we were all back out roaming around in the food area. There's a ton of glass in this building which affords views across the interiors as well as the Boston sky line. This is when I had the opportunity to look down into the exhibition hall and saw the NFDA displays. There were several displays of open, empty coffins. One of those included a pine ?box? which was a natural finish polished wood with the usual dome top. The middle of their hall was filled with lots of big, elegant black limousines. The doors and hatch lifts were all opened up for easy display. NFDA = National Funeral Directors Association! NOPE! I definitely don't belong to that one!

Now THAT's Funny! The FD part brought Fire Dept to mind, wasn't expecting the Funeral Directors ending. Bet those conservative black suits didn't smile much either.
