Years back we were telling friends about the purchase of our new house, A friend knew all about the neighborhood!
He worked as a driver at a local funeral home.
With two drivers taking turns at night.
Until the night night he heard the sound from the other room, yes that room!
Unable to relax, he takes a look.
His co worker is pinned under the cart and a customer!!!
Maybe an urban legend, but he told it so well, I recall it each time I drive by the place, 40 years later!
True story:
My father in law died. A great guy. Died 13 years ago. I miss him still.
He had pre-arranged and prepaid his own funeral. However the funeral director was trying to upsell a nicer casket than the one my FIL had selected. I kept saying “No thanks”.
“But look” the guy said; “this casket comes with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE!”
My wife groaned. She knew what was coming. I was gonna have a ball!
“WHO’S LIFETIME?” I demanded. “As you can see - Mr. Thurmond here is DEAD. His lifetime is over. Done.”
“Maybe you mean MY lifetime? Yeah? Maybe in 20 years I’m gonna dig him up to ascertain the viability of this ‘Lifetime Guarantee’”?
My wife kept saying “Let it go. Just stop”.
I find humor where I can. Even in a funeral home.
