A nice Coffee Table

This is a couple of years old now, but some of you may not have seen it.

Jeff Green is a 32-year-old American, in Arizona, whose wife passed away.

Due to the grief he suffered at her death, he did something totally out of character for a normal and sane person.

He said, "I could no longer take the pain that my wife's death caused me and so I brought her back home."

His wife, Lucy, was born with a heart condition that cut her life short at the young age of 29. Lucy's last words to Jeff were, "We will meet again in heaven.Ã¢â‚¬, but these words were of no consolation in Jeff's despair.

At the funeral, in an act of desperation, Jeff decided that he would not let Lucy leave him.

Ã¢â‚¬Å“I called the cemetery caretaker and explained my feelings." he said later, "I spoke with the authorities and got special permission to take my wife home with me. They thought it strange, but I was allowed to take her with me. I'd rather have her at home than six feet under ground. Lucy had a great sense of humour and I'm sure she would appreciate being my coffee table."

Jeff ordered a special hermetically sealed glass case that eliminates the decomposition of a dead body. "It cost me about $6,000.00, but it was worth it."

Some of his friends and relatives, filled with fear, stopped visiting him, but his true friends respected his decision and continue coming over.

Some even comment that it makes a nice piece of furniture.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he had a purple settee to match her sweater, after all, purple's the "In" colour this year. (Great news for me as I've got terrible circulation in my legs)

Ghads, you better hope they don't opt to have you stuffed instead...................

They do that to some pets.

I personally would find that really tooooo weird. After all I like to think that my left over body is only a carcass and that the true me has gone on to better adventures.

I would 'turn in my coffee table'.

GET IT? :wah:

I'd like to see the look on the faces of any potential future Mrs. Greens when he gets his life back on track. No hanky-panky on the sofa would be my considered prediction

Ghads, what would happen if you spilled coffee on the table!

One of my mates thought a chaise longue was a threesome !. Mind you, he also called water CO2 :yh_rotfl

We kept trying to persuade him to go into MFI and ask for a Menage a trois :sneaky:

Just to put your mind at rest, Minks. England's laws do not allow this.

Doesn't bear thinking about.

Of course, I can't speak for America's laws.

My moms a bit of a Hilda Baker character. Recently, I told her that my car needed a new Alternator. She said "Isn't that the film with Arnold Swarfega?" :-2

This is not made up!
