Things that go bump
in the night
My brother-in-law, Ed, was walking home from the Elks club late one
foggy night last week, when behind him he hears:BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...Walking faster, he looked back and through the fog he makes out theimage of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the streettoward him.BUMP..BUMP...BUMP...Terrified, Ed began to run toward his home, the casket bouncingquickly behind him.FASTER...FASTER...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...Ed ran up to his door, fumbled with his keys, opened the door, rushed in,slammed and locked the door behind him.Not so easily deterred, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket open and clapping,
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...
The terrifying coffin was on his heels!
Ed ran faster than he ever had before!!Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, Ed locked himself in.
His heart was pounding; his head was reeling; his breath was coming in sobbing gasps.
But to no avail...
Suddenly, with a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door,
Menacingly Bumping and Clapping toward him!Ed screamed and blindly started reaching for something, anything to defend himself...
but all he could find is a bottle of cough syrup!
Desperate, exhausted, and out of options (kinda like Wall Street),
he threw the cough syrup at the casket...And...The coffin stopped.Have a happy Halloween.
