**Thus came the phrase; “Saved By the Bell”***
And later Bateson made a small belfry that was placed on the grave. The waking dead person had a string in their hand to pull the bell if buried alive.
It was considered such a joke that the term “Bats in the Belfry” became a phrase for people with odd ideas.
That part, I didn’t know.
I never thought of the actual definition of “Belfry”.
Just goes to show that a lot of gallows humor is ageless.
Maybe even Cleopatra’s family mortician told a wry joke or two about ‘Wandering Asps’.
