    Three buddies die in a car and go to heaven for an orientation. They are all asked, "When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"

    The first guy says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man."

    The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher which made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."

    The last guy replies, "I would like to hear them say, 'LOOK, HE'S MOVING!!!!!'"

    Funny, funny, funny. But that would be quite a shocker.
    Years ago they would hang bells on the outside of the coffins and attach a line on to it, and place the other end in the dead persons hand. That way if for some unknown reason they actually were not dead and woke up. They could ring the bell and let people know so they would let them out before they were buried alive. :eek:

    Hence the expression, 'Saved by the bell'.

    That is very interesting . . . I am sure a lot of people in comas were buried alive back in the day.

    Jerry- oh, I should have know that. I love looking into where some of the saying we use came from. Like, Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.


    SongofJoy57 I am sure there were some folks whom that happened to. :eek: How horrible.
