Kick Off Your Morning With a Huge Guffaw! A Woman's Colleagues Throw a Farewell Ceremony for Her Deceased Fish — Wait Till You Hear What Went Down

Kick Off Your Morning With a Huge Guffaw! Pets become our dearest friends and family, yet eventually the moment arrives when we must bid them farewell. The passing of a treasured pet can be utterly heartbreaking. Hopefully, whoever faces that moment has caring people beside them. Playwright Claire Willett proved her coworkers were the most compassionate bunch imaginable when they rallied to comfort her over the death of her betta fish. What unfolded, however, turned into absolute comedy gold.

After a Twitter user invited people to share the moment they 'laughed until they cried,' Claire jumped in with this gem. Just one month into her new position, her cherished betta fish — Leonard Cohen, who lived at her desk — passed on. Claire was completely devastated, so her colleagues organized a proper send-off for the little guy. How on earth can a memorial service for a fish be that funny? You'll need to keep scrolling to discover the punchline!
