#3 As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a newly-established cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost and, being a typical man, I did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the back-hoe and the crew (which was eating lunch) but the hearse was nowhere in sight. I apologized to the workers for my tardiness and stepped to the side of the open grave where I saw the vault lid was already in place. I assured the workers that I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do.

The workers all gathered around still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached, the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory." I preached and I preached like I had never preached before-from Genesis to Revelation. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I heard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen nothing like that before, and I been puttin' in septic tanks for near twenty years!!!

#5 Oh, dear, I didn't expect that last bit. tabd, I do hope after all that you eventually found the right burial site.

Oh, and I think after hanging out here for a while you'll start to feel better about the world -- it really, really helps to know there are others who understand what's happening, and some of them (mostly the ones who don't comment, actually) are in a position to do something effective about it. Not to mention the pure intellectual pleasure of the Rantburg University bits -- many of the people here are amazingly knowledgeable about the most fascinating things. I haven't said yet, but welcome to you all the new posters who've recently joined this very interesting conversation!

#7 I probably don't need to tell you this, tw... but just to be sure :-) it wasn't me in the story. It was just for fun.

#8 Actually, tabd, you did need to tell me -- I've had a very sheltered life, while surrounded by those who haven't. So I've heard some pretty amazing true stories, and I'm not nearly subtle enough to pick up on those that are only tales, much to the quiet amusement of some here. Are you also not a minister?

#9 no - sorry that I didn't put a disclaimer. It was certainly warranted. But glad you got a kick out of it. I sure did.

#13 pretty common knowledge among us Republicans that you don't taint bear meat with Donk bait. Gives it a fishy chicken flavor
