I was going to post this in the Stupid Things area, but thought it might have been quite appropriate. You be the judge.
Anyway, I see an ambulance arrive at the crack of dawn at the neighbors house directly across the street. 1/2 hour - 45 minutes or so goes by and they take him out on a stretcher. He's been in bad shape for a while now...needed a liver, just learned he got lung cancer...too much good clean living over the years. He's been in and out of the hospital a lot. Anyway, the ambulance leaves and I notice their front door is open. I'm thinking his wife rode with him in the ambulance since both cars are still there. A couple hours pass and I had to go next door to get the youngun for breakfast. I go collect him and on the way back I notice an extra car in their driveway - the father-in-law. So I figure she called him to close the door and do whatever loose ends she left behind in a hurry. Well, seems she was still there. Hmmm. Strange. Husband goes to hospital and she's still there. They didn't have him covered up with a sheet even though he was definitely not awake, so I'm not thinking the worst (although it's overdue). I bump into another neighbor in the street after breakfast. Now here's where this starts to get better. Evidently she found her husband passed out on the head after taking too long. She calls next door neighbor to assist getting him off the pot. Realizes somethings amiss and calls 911. Paramedics come and do whatever it is they do and carried him out on the stretcher and take off. Well, as it turns out he passed smack dab in the middle of his morning constitutional.
I learned they didn't cover him up for the benefit of his wife (?).
What a way to go.
I did remove the 40 or so tombstones littering my front yard from Halloween (overdue).
I told my wife if I go that way, not to tell my friends. Tell them I died in bed cheating with two young girls.
We had spent many hours boating together over the years.
It became a big joke that whenever we went out with the wives, the heavens would open up and we always got caught in a squall. One particularly bad squall (couldn't see the front of the boat) he said the only dry place was the inside of his a@@hole. I told him, in that case, he was in my seat.
