Maybe this fabled Irish anecdote will break through:

Despicable Mike died hated by everyone.
The priest rounded up some of Mike's co-workers by threatening them with eternal damnation if they didn't come to Mike's wake.
After a few prayers the priest said "I want someone to say a few kind words about Mike."
Not a word.
"No one goes home till I heard some kind words about Mike." the priest said.
Finally Pat said:
"His brother was worse."
