I imagine his family laid a few bricks themselves when they saw him!
Want BRAINS!
I see dead people, and they didn’t show up for work!
“Jesus Christ! He is alive!”
“No, I am Ademir Jorge Goncalves and I didn’t actually die. Sorry for the confusion.”
Finally..... someone was late for their own funeral!
I wonder if he voted in the time he was considered dead.
Does anybody remember the M*A*S*H episode where they hold the funeral for the Frenchman, and when they play his national anthem, he comes marching down the aisle, saluting?
That was a classic.

Showing up live at my own funeral - I’m adding that to my bucket list.
