Llamas attend owner's funeral in Ohio

"Dust in the windddd..."

PERRY, Ohio – A northeast Ohio farmer who died of cancer has been laid to rest with the help of some of the llamas he raised on his farm. Two of Terry McCrone's llamas made up an honor guard at his funeral Friday at Perry Christian Church. Four others from a statewide drill team joined them, wearing purple ribbons as they lined up outside the church. The llamas also escorted a hearse to Perry Cemetery. The 61-year-old McCrone died Feb. 7. The Rev. Bob Ladygo of Bible Baptist Church says McCrone's llamas would visit him at his window after he became sick. The ribbons the llamas wore were given to McCrone's wife and daughter.

This man obviously had a sharp sense of humor, considering llamas are fucking hilarious. Try looking at a llama and not laughing your ass off. Go ahead, I'll wait........... I know right! So funny.This story brings a tear to my eye. Nothing like llamas as part of your honor guard. They also called in 4 other llamas from a local drill team? Sounds like they are raising one hell of a llama army over there in Ohio. Unless we are at war and need soldiers with extremely long tongues I think they don't need to be worried about heading to Iraq. Anyway it must have been hard to give Mr. McCrone a 21 gun salute with no opposable thumbs but I suppose that's an issue for another day. They probably slept at the foot of his bed like dogs and stuff, he fed them scraps under the table, these are clearly domesticated llamas. And I like the part at the end where it says "the ribbons the llamas wore were given to Mcrone's wife and daughter" it makes it seem like they should be honored to get these ribbons! Like the fucking llamas were more important to the man then his own family! The llamas escorted the hearse to the cemetery? My God I hope the farm was like a mile away from the cemetery or that would be one long ass and slow funeral procession. If I was behind that line of cars I would be absolutely furious. Seriously you CAN NOT under any circumstances cut in between or in front of a funeral procession, in American culture that's almost as bad as ripping the tag off a mattress.
