Fred Phelps’ Death Prompts Westboro Baptist Church To Protest His Funeral

TOPEKA, KS – On the same day that Fred Phelps’ body was found rotting in a chair in his upstairs office, members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church announced that they would be picketing his upcoming funeral.

Phelps, born November 13, 1929, was the leader of the church — an organization that practices a strange, anti-homosexual version of Christianity that has been known to protest at celebrity and military funerals.

The pastor’s daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, was the first to discover the 83-year-old’s body.

“We haven’t brought dad out to very many protests for a few years now,” said Phelps-Roper. “In fact, it’s been quite a while since even we had seen him. Once he starts on a marathon of old Growing Pains episodes, we just leave him alone until he comes down.”

“He always loved Kirk Cameron,” she added.

Judging by the smell and decomposition of the body, officials from the coroner’s office say that Pastor Phelps’ probably died at least six months ago. There wasn’t any sign of foul play, but they did report that the television was still playing, and appeared to be “scrambled up 80s pornography.”

They had a plumbing leak upstairs and they called a local outfit in Wichita-

A pretty hot lady showed up and she was escorted upstairs to his bathroom where the leak was.

After he saw her plumbers crack, he couldn't handle it. Touched himself, heart rate went up, poof, dead dog LOL
