From my Sis (don't care if you have seen it before or not ;)

Subject: the casket

A man was walking home alone late one foggy night,

when behind him he hears:

BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him

FASTER...

BUMP...

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.

However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping

clappity-BUMP...

on his heels, the terrified man runs.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.

Bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!

Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...

and,

(hopefully you're really ready for this!!!)

The coffin stops!

( Oh shut up...I thought it was funny )

"Happy Halloween"

Butterfly,

Our Cubmaster did this as a story for the kids last week - they didn't know what a casket was, one of the parents shouted "a coffin", but in the end everyone was surprised.

And yes, it's pretty funny :-)

The 'comment' at the end was not 'mine' it came with the joke. I thought that was even funnier than the joke itself.

Now I'm going to have to TRY to remember to do this next year?????????????? What did I get myself into You'll have to remind me.

Is achieving the groan metre a feat to be envied?

rofl I thought it was funny too!

BTW - have you heard the other version of this. You could tell your sis.

A hearse is travelling slowly through town towards the cemetry at the top of the hill. It hits a bump in the road and the back doors fly open. The coffin falls out and then starts to slide down the hill, gathering speed as it goes. As it approaches the chemist (pharmacist) shop the lid flies open, the corpse sits up and asks -

"Got anything to stop this coffin?".

If Butterfly merits the groan metre - the laugh of the day goes to Cindy (teleflora) down at my question about Vikings. Even if you've never met a Viking, you need to see that. Polly
