Often times we do not realize how far we have come until we cast back into the past. .
The office I work in has years and years of historical files onsite. Sometimes we have to delve back into the historical files in order to ascertain what is going on with a file we are dealing with now. I as sure that back in the day, the people hand writing the information had no idea the amusement they would be causing in the future = but they have.
The main example I am refering to is a historical file regarding funeral arrangements and cause of death. While delving my coworker was cataloguing the historical records she came across this entry:
Cause of death: 10 am
Of course – she could not contain herself and had to share it with me.
At first, I could not believe what I read.
Then I reread it.
And reread it.
Until finally I could not contain myself.
This is way, every Thursday at approximately 10:05am, we gleefully jump up from our desks, raise our arms in the air triumphantly and call out “WOOOOHOOOOO!! DODGED ANOTHER ONE!!”
