I saw something a little strange yesterday

[johnnie]

As I was going home from work last night, I got to the top of my street where a cemetery is. Coming out of the cemetery was an ambulance with lights flashing and sirens wailing. I can only wonder what happened. It is an older cemetery, I don't know if there are many burials there these days.

1. maybe there was someone sick buried there

:shrug:

3. Could be

Or someone came back to life and didn't know the way to the hospital.

2. That is strange!

[johnnie]

5. I thought so

I'm sure if I knew what happened it would make sense, but my imagine starts to get carried away with me sometimes and I thought it was a little surreal.

Your "irony" thread reminded me of it.

14. Well I am over there talking to myself in that thread.

No one wants to respond, but that one would have been a good one.

Maybe the maintenance man or cemetery caretaker got hurt! :shrug:

15. I wasn't sure if it was considered "irony"

I was going to post it in your thread, but I wasn't sure. So I typed up this one.

4. There's an old tradition in my area...

of teenagers going to cemeteries to get good and drunk. Maybe one of them tripped on a tombstone.

[johnnie]

8. Maybe

It was a little after 5 in the evening. But with teens..you never know.

12. First time I got drunk was in a cemetery.

I was 15.

It was orange-flavored Mad Dog.

:puke:

16. I've tripped before

but it was on acid, not tombstone

:shrug:

6. Nope, teenage Goth seance gone bad...

How did they know they were about to sacrifice a trained attack gerbil?

The next thing you know there's hair extentions and black press on finger nails everywhere.

[sui generis]

9. I just got a visual of that

lovely!

[sui generis]

7. sometimes bums like to sleep in cemeteries

they're generally pretty quiet except for Memorial Day and the occasional AMBULANCE picking up a dead guy.

who knew? :shrug:

10. perhaps a homeless person was found there, sick or whatever

[supernova]

11. Maybe someone collapsed at a funeral?

Besides the partying teenagers, and drunk indigents, maybe someone was overcome at a loved one's funeral.

[johnnie]

13. Well, like I said

I don't think they bury anyone there any longer. I didn't see a crowd of people in there either.
