Son Honors Dad's Wish, Hires Stripper for Taiwan Funeral

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

A man hired a stripper to perform at the funeral of his father — who happened to have a fondness for gentlemen's clubs, according to reports from Taiwan.

Taiwanese newspaper the United Daily News reported that Cai Jinlai had been promised a stripper for his funeral if he lived to 100.

Jinlai was 103 when he died — reportedly leaving behind more than 100 "descendants."

He had died after walking about 3.1 miles to a town in Taichung County to vote in an election in the Taichung.

His son, Cai Ruigong, told the newspaper that he had paid more than $170 for the stripper to dance around the coffin at the funeral.

"He would travel around the island with his friends to see these [strip] shows," Ruigong said.

According to reports, the exotic dancer performance at the funeral lasted 10 minutes.
