A HERMIT'S FUNERAL

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a old hermit who lived out in the middle of nowhere. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the
back country of Kentucky .

As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this old hermit.

And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Apparently I'm still lost ... it's a guy thing.
 
LMAO! Nice one.

I was reading it thinking dad sent me another bullshiznit feel good email...so when i got to the bottom....thanks dad....lol
 
I thought we invented GPS so we didn't have to ask for directions.
 
Good call....I think I left them in my pants.....which presents another problem
 
Let me guess, Joey. You let Rolex use them and he forgot where he left them.......
