The joke backfires when it rains during your funeral.

(no worries, I'd find that funny!)

No, it actually makes it more funny! The backfire is even better, just as it backfires in the film. Spoiler alert.

War, my lord
Is of eternal use to human kind,
For, ever and anon, when you have passed
A few dull years in peace and propagation,
The world is overstocked with fools and wants
A pestilence at last, if not a hero.
