I'd imagine this would be the least odd thing to happen at Neil Gaiman's funeral.
If he asks you to wear a black dress, you'd best clarify what that entails. From there, I'm honestly at a loss for words over how that shituation got any worse. Clearly this poor guy was so blinded by grief, he failed to connect the dots on just how ridiculous his +1 scenario was.
