SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 2:42 P.M. ET: 

COMPTON, Calif. - There are drive-thru burger joints and drive-thru banks but now one California city offers the ultimate in drive-thru convenience: drive-thru casket viewing.  Yes, at the Robert L. Adams Mortuary in Compton, south of Los Angeles, it is possible to view the deceased resting in a casket display window while cruising past in your car, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.  "It's a unique feature that sets us aside from other funeral parlors," said owner Peggy Scott Adams.

For an extra $100, if you smile at the loved one while cruising by, the loved one will smile back.
