A Brazilian bricklayer reportedly killed in a car crash shocked his mourning family by showing up alive at his funeral.
Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, 59, had identified him as the victim of a Sunday night car crash in Parana state in southern Brazil, police said.
As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day, which happened to be the holiday of Finados, when Brazilians visit cemeteries to honour the dead.
What family members didn’t know was that Mr. Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio told the O Globo newspaper. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening Monday morning.
Doctors’ Opinions of the Financial Bailout Plan
The allergists voted to scratch it, and the dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The osteopaths thought we’re all being manipulated. The orthopedists issued a joint resolution.
The gastroenterologists had a gut feeling that it was not something they could stomach. The neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.
The ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the otolaryngologists wouldn’t hear of it; the pathologists said, “Over my dead body!” while the pediatricians advised, “Oh, grow up!”
The psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness; the radiologists could see right through it; and the general surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The vascular surgeons were thinking along the same vein.
The internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow; and the plastic surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter.” The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists felt the scheme wouldn’t hold water.
The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas; and the cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say much of anything.
In the end, the proctologists, concerned that we’re already in arrears, wanted a more probing analysis.
Enjoying the new Monty Python YouTube channel, I somehow stumbled across this amazing gem of a Monty Python fan finding the Life of Christ a deeply offensive parody on the great JC – John Cleese.
It’s hilarious to watch this parody! Lots of great lines, but the “It has ceased to be” takes the cake!
