    I saw this on another forum and thought it best it not be reported.
    The guy pays tribute to his friend and that's all people need to hear.

    You need to read what I said, not what you assume I said.

    This was a heartfelt agreement between buddies and one put himself in an embarrassing position to fulfill that bargain. When I read that story, I realized that these stories would flash about like wildfire and far too many people who didn't have a fraction of his courage or devotion would simply turn it into a joke.
    It's a funeral tribute, not a joke. No one should have taken pictures.

    I can agree with what Rain is saying, simply a statement that he honored his friend due to an agreement they had. I dare anyone to make a joke out of it though, theres nothing funny about it, we should all be so lucky to have friends that would go to these lengths for us.
