For that matter,dig Teddy up and toss his filthy bones in the Potomac.
you are most welcome.
How do they know to bury the first one deep enough? Around here it is hard to get 6’ deep let alone deeper. The other problem is getting in amongst the stones and graves without collapsing a vault or smashing a stone.
A Marine Colonel once gave us an example of "motivation".
He said that because so many vets wanted to be buried in Arlington, they dug the graves three-caskets-deep, about 12 feet.
One night, after closing time, a drunk wandered through the Cemetery and fell in a newly-dug empty grave. He tried to jump out time and again, but the grave was just too deep. It was no use. He gave up and went to sleep, figuring someone would find him when daylight came.
An hour later another drunk stumbled into the same pitch black grave and frantically tried to jump out. The other drunk woke up, and said, "Forget it pal, you ain't getting out."
The second drunk cleared the grave in one jump, and as far as is known, is still running.
Now THAT"S motivation!
Thanks for the explanation.
Members are buried for one year in one of the mausoleum "drawers." After a year, the heat and humidity of New Orleans have done their job and the remains, now just bones, are deposited into the center shaft where all society members remains remain.
I could imagine a series of classical structures like this. . .
. . . fitting in quite nicely at Arlington.
(1) Dig up Teddy Kennedy and dump his remains from the Chappaquiddick bridge
(2) Bury McCain at sea
Him. Interesting. Like catacombs on the surface.
Who’s eligible to be buried there?
Dig up all the “White Privilege” heroes and they will end up with 92% of the original room back....
