Does anybody know what happens when two funeral processions, moving in opposite directions, meet?

I considered framing this as “Share the last time you thought of something odd, and suddenly, there it was!” So feel free to answer in that vein too.

When I met Rick I’d been to exactly 2 whole funerals in my life. But he has extended family around here, so now I go to one about once a year, and we’ve been together for 15 years. I’ve been in a LOT of processions since then.

Went to a funeral this weekend, then joined the procession. If there is anything at all “cool” about a funeral, it’s the procession. The whole world comes to a stop around you. You get to run red lights and stop signs.

Observing all of this I asked Rick, “So what would happen if there was a funeral procession coming from the opposite direction? Does everybody just freeze for all time?”
He said he didn’t know, he’d never experienced anything like that.

Well, not five minutes later… Rick and I just burst out laughing.

Later, at the dinner, several people said they’d never experienced it before, either. It was just very cool that I thought of it, and then there it was!
