Electric Flower Cars

Funeral customs vary from country to country,but Taiwan has a new twist,funeral strippers. This custom started about 25 years ago when the Taiwanese mafia who ran the nightclubs took over a large portion of the mortuary business. Though the businesses don't seem to have anything in common,the mafia bosses decided to combine the two and increase their income. Anyone who booked a funeral through one of their parlors got a stripper at a discount price. The idea was to attract more mourners to honor the dead. They even offered a religious explanation,the strippers would please the lower gods. The strippers usually arrive on the back of diesel trucks known as Electric Flower Cars. The girls do pole dancing,sing,and some even come down from the stage to interact with the mourners.
I don't know about the rest of you,but this was something new to me!
