His crematory runs day and night. He's just like the stingy rascal you love in the original Dickens' tale.

They also interpret Ebenezer's dreams and give them numbers for which they use to play the lottery. Their story of Mud Turtle Mississippi will have you cracking your sides with laughter. Yes, there are the dreams, a Bob Crutchet, and of course redemption in the end just like in A Christmas Carol. But this is a lot funnier.
