SOUTH BLUMENORT, MB

Thousands of Mennonites were expecting to gorge on raisin buns at the Wiebe funeral this past week, but were left “completely devastated” after the organizers ran out of their supply after just one serving.

“The mood sure dampened when they ran out of raisin buns,” said Mrs. Thiessen. “It had been a festive atmosphere, but that all changed pretty quick!”

When the second round of buns came by and funeral-goers started to realize they were just regular white buns, the Wiebe funeral really took a turn.

“Oba, I don’t want to be a downer, but we’re out of raisin buns,” said funeral volunteer Mrs. Klassen. “I’m really sorry. I know how much these raisin buns meant to you. They were close to me, too. I’m really sorry to see them go.”
