Man Shows Up Alive At His Own Funeral

RIO DE JANEIRO — 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 honor the dead. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening Monday morning. The police spokesman confirmed there were doubts: “His mom looked at the body in the casket and thought something was strange. She looked and looked and couldn’t believe it was her son,” Sampaio said. “Before long, the walking dead appeared at the funeral. It was a relief.”

Yeah the mother is right. What a relief. Kind of like when you think you lost your wallet but it’s in your car or something. Except in this case you think your son is dead and then he shows up at his own funeral. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Anyway what type of asshole is this guy? I mean why wouldn’t you wait until the funeral was over to tell everybody you were alive?   Wouldn’t you want to hear what people say about you? See who is the most broken up and shit. See if anybody doesn’t seem that upset? I know that’s what I do and then I’d hold grudges for the rest of my life. Listen I’m not saying I’d fake my own death or anything but if the opportunity presents itself to attend my own funeral you believe I’m going to take advantage of it. Seriously act like a professional for once dude.
