A man who disappeared decades ago is finding out there's no easy way to come back from the dead.

Donald Miller Jr. went to court this week to ask a county judge to reverse a 1994 ruling that declared him legally dead after he had vanished from his home eight years earlier. But the judge turned down his request, citing a three-year time limit for changing a death ruling.

Hancock County Probate Court Judge Allan Davis called it a "strange, strange situation."

So, if he is dead, could he rob the judge and get away with it? You can’t charge a dead person with a crime.

He may be "dead" but I would be willing to bet he still has to pay taxes.

When the Dalai Lama dies, they look for his reincarnation, even though he will obviously have a different name. If I were this guy, I would come back as an illegal alien. It’s a better deal in Obama’s USA.

So, a man can become a woman just by saying “I identify as a woman”, but he can’t identify as alive?

OK,OK the grammar cops got me again! Spell check is no replacement for actually reading what you wrote before hitting post.
