Yesterday afternoon I walked past a funeral home. Near the edge of their property was a large sign reading, "FREE." My immediate thought was that, "this has got to be good," and it was. No, the thought to keep walking never occurred to me.
There was a large brick planter that holds the huge name signage of the funeral home. Something German, I think. Lying on the rim of the ledge of the planter were a two button navy blue suit and a navy blue double breasted blazer. They were constructed of what appeared to be only the finest polyester. As well there was a pair of men's size 8 1/2 black wing tip shoes. Leaning against the side of the planter were about two dozen 18" x24" bulletin boards. Finally, there was also an average sized acrylic suggestion box (empty).
I like to believe that I have a fairly active imagination but, I have not as of yet been able to come up with an explanation here. The best I have been able to figure out is; maybe the next of kin required a couple three wardrobe changes before being satisfied? That might explain the shoes and the clothing but, what about the two dozen bulletin boards and the suggestion box? Who knows, perhaps the departed was not familiar with PowerPoint and wanted to take suggestions and an old-school presentation to the pearly gates. He of course learned at the last moment that he couldn't take them with him. On the other hand, perhaps the funeral home thought that rather than placing the stuff in the dumpster, someone may find it useful?
BTW: Wouldn't you just about go naked before wearing those clothes or shoes?
