Woman turned up at own funeral
2006-01-22
An Argentinian woman who went missing after a New year's Party turned up at her own funeral.
How, um, inconvenient, lol. New Year's party, huh? This is why I don't drink anymore.
Angela Saraiva, 20, from Salta, was only gone for 20 hours and was amazed to find herself declared dead.
20 hrs? Hell, I've gone missing for years... only it was intentional - like I said, I don't drink anymore.
Her worried mother mistakenly identified a dead body as being that of her daughter, reports Terra Noticias Populares.
Mom! What about that cool birthmark I have on my, um, er, nevermind. Maybe it was that Gerber Life policy she took out when Angie wuz a baby...
And the funeral was in full swing when Ms Saraiva finally turned up again.
I like swinging funerals. Mariachi & Calypso bands, dancing Gypsies, dog acts, the Houdini seance, David Copperfield making the stiff disappear, y'know, the run of the mill Texas funeral.
She said: "My parents thought I was this woman because she looked just like me.
Dead dopplegangers. Wow, what will they think of next? And what about the REAL dead woman's family? Suddenly this isn't quite so funny...
"I loved this whole experience, it made me realise how much my friends and family love me and how much they would miss me if I die; that made me feel important!"
Everyone else: Yeah, well, you've made us look like fools. I gotcher love right here... How about we try again, with the right corpse, smartass?
