#1 There was a brilliant reprobate of a Buddhist monk, who embarrassed the heck out of his prudish and snobbish monastery with his drunken, belligerent antics, but was their key to fame.

They were thrilled when he died, and decided to have an elaborate, ornate and snooty funeral inviting all sorts of dignitaries, the sort of thing he would have despised.

All went according to plan, until they lit his funeral pyre, to discover his disciples had filled his ceremonial robes full of fireworks.
