About a week ago Nancy and I were in the bank back home when the undertaker came in.
Somewhere in the conversation, naturally the subject of coffins came up.
He said I could tell this story only if his name was not mentioned.
He had a man that could not find just the "right" coffin for his departed wife.
The man asked the undertaker if he could buy a casket, take it to Dallas, have it painted, and bring it back when it was ready.
Undertaker agreed, but he reminded the man that it would obviously delay the funeral.
Man had no problem with a delayed funeral so a deal was struck.
Several days later the man returned with the repainted casket.
Undertaker said that it was painted cherry apple red with green frogs painted on it.
I laughed so hard, standing there in the bank lobby, that I cried.
True story; I'm still laughing even though it's not funny.
It's hillarious.
Y'all have a good weekend and be safe.
