The Artful Dodger…

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!!”
