Preceded in Death

While standing in front of the incredibly weak microwave ovens in my break room heating up my tasty Hungry Man meal, I overheard two co-workers discussing the obituaries found in the local paper.

“Wow, she was pretty when she was younger. Look.”

“Yeah.”

“She didn’t turn out so good, but she used to be pretty.”

“I don’t think I want my family to put a younger picture of me. I don’t want people saying, ‘What happened to her?’”

“Whoa, her parents are still alive?”

“Really? How old was she?”

“93.”

“And her parents are still alive? How old are they?”

“They gotta be in their hundreds.”

“And they’re still alive?”

“Yeah, listen.” She then reads from the obituary. “[She] was preceded in death by her husband, son-in-law, and parents.”

Where do I start?

Oh my heck. That is hilarious. Time for someone to brush up on their vocabulary…and common sense.

You are so lucky to work with idiots! I love the stories!

Dave love the Hungry Mans. It’s a special treat when they’re on sale. Usually, he has to take the lame Healthy Choice ones.
