OT - this could only happen to me....

okay...so many of you know that I am highly involved in professional theater here in Rochester. Today, I picked up a coffin to paint as the sarcophagus of King Tut for an upcoming play, Isle of Dogs. As my advice, do not assume that a state trooper will have a sense of humor about having a coffin sticking out the back of your jeep. When asked, "Ma'am, what's in the coffin?" I probably should have checked my response (which was most likely due to the fumes of the gas circulating in the jeep) of, "my grandmother." I did immediately add that it was a theater prop, but he did not find that the least bit amusing. I promptly cooperated with his request to step out of the vehicle while he lifted the lid to see what was inside...and let it not be said that my friends don't have a very warped sense of humor...and there was a rubber chicken inside. As I watched, saw his cheeks rise a little...i knew I was okay...but seriously...this was a priceless situation...and he told me he had never had to pull anyone over under suspicion of grave robbing......:lmao:

Been there. Back in the old fraternity days we had a real coffin in the basement for use in ceremonies. We had a plastic skeleton in it (stolen way before my time from the biology department). The fraternity was off campus and was inspected by a city building inspector one year. Later that day the police showed up with a warrant to search the frat house. The inspector had reported an old coffin and a bad smell in the basement.

They did not have a sense of humor either. It was tough explaining that the bad smell was just 25 college guys living in a house together.

Reminds me of the time I crossed the border with my friends father when I was younger. Tip: if you don't want to be held up for 2 hours don't answer "Anything to declare?" with "Just the body in the back."
