LEXINGTON, Miss. - Workers at a Mississippi funeral home say they found a man alive and kicking when they opened a body bag.

Holmes County Coroner Dexter Howard calls it a miracle that 78-year-old Walter Williams is alive.

The coroner was called to Williams' home in Lexington, a community north of Jackson, where family members believed he had died.

Howard says Williams had no pulse and was pronounced dead Wednesday at 9 p.m.

Early Thursday, workers at Porter and Sons Funeral Home were preparing to embalm Williams when he started to kick in the body bag.

I have claustrophobia, so imagining this was almost traumatic. *shudder-shudder*

But wait. Just hold on there a minute.
The story states that Mr Williams was “pronounced dead”. We assume this was done by a doctor or the county coroner. Can a lowly funeral home embalmer over rule either of these highly educated officials? I think not.

It’s the power of wemen. Doctors and coroners fear the wemens too, if the doctors or coroners are men. They ain’t stupid.

This is why the traditional “wake” was once held. My grandfather’s body was placed on the kitchen table and a multi-day party commenced

My Great Grandfather was a doctor up into the late 1930's. He told his wife when he passed to leave him alone in the house and come back in a day or so to have the undertaker get him. Yes he was afraid of being mistaken for dead.

Today EMT's sending an EKG strip to a doctor or a nurse checking vital signs and pupils can pronounced someone clinically and legally dead.

For the last time, I wasn’t responsible!

No one saw me and you can’t prove anything, besides.

“They took my eyes!”

No they haven’t, they’re still in your head.

“I can’t see!”

Put down your coffee mug.

“I need the coffee to LIIIIIVE!”

I hope mine has ice! The coffee! I’ll know I’m in the right place, that way. Hot could mean anything.

I deny ever waking up in a body bag.

Oh sure, and McGee denies sleeping in the coffin at Abbie's.
