Skeletons in the Closet

There’s an AP story out of Illinois about a resourceful group of cemetery folks selling the same piece of ground over and over in order to increase profits. They would dig up the previous “tenant”, toss the old bones and make the plot good as new for the next poor soul, pardon the pun.

Detectives working the case actually found one skeleton wearing a suit, presumably the one he was buried in. I’m surprised they didn’t try to resell the suit on eBay.

“We’ve only done very, very shallow digging there and have found a substantial amount of bones,” Dart said. “Just below that level is dead grass so it almost appears as if things were just dumped on top of existing grass.”

I have to wonder, how many of the other skeletons were wearing, “Obama” t-shirts? Anyone with a sense of history knows, “dead people always vote straight Democrat”.

One last observation; as I was about to post, my iTunes was playing, Just a Closer Walk With Thee, the Canadian Brass version. Have I got timing or what!
