10/10, and it's a good thing I aced this one. I was born and brought up in a Funeral Home.
And while we showed more decorum in oue speech, we have heard them all.

Some further explanation of #5 "bought the farm".
When a soldier died during the war, the death benefit was often enough for his family to payoff the mortgage.
Thus, "he bought the farm".

Not sure why it didn't give me number 9--I chose Styx, perhaps I didn't actually check it. Oh well. Got Shakespeare wrong!

Thanks for the Monty Pythin list, of course it's my favorite skit aside from the cheese shop.

I guessed at # 4, had it right but changed it at the last second. Auntisis, that must have been scary to be born and grow up in a funeral home. For me it would be.
