   .. and why are they suing the funeral home?
   
   Up in canada we usually call that a 'mistake', and while we allow the absolutely perfect no-mistakes people to sue without scorn, most of us know better than to point the finger unless there's some damage done to anything but egos.
   
   I'm still hoping that our courts will someday charge the parents of these sensitive coddled post-teen children for improperly raising their welfare babies.

   Sue for What?

   Everyone's looking to hit the jackpot.
   
   In the same situation my family would probably laugh.

   Well, you could take that question literally - Hell calling you while you are in your coffin would not bode well for your immediate eternity

   Urban legend?

   Sounds like an urban legend in the making to me. Think about - would the phone's battery still have power? Do you really think that undertakers are that incompetent tht they don't look through the pockets in the deceased's clothes, which, remember, will have been selected by the family as it is highly unlikely that they would be burying someone in teh clothes in which they died.
   
   Why the hell is a dead person in a sealed coffin wearing clothes anyway? I suppose they might need them in the afterlife. Hah!

   Maybe he was late for an appointment?

   What? Was it an attempt to turn the funeral into a wake??

   [...] is not avaiable to take your call, please leave a message after the tone:
   
   Dude, I heard this nasty rumor that you were dead. Call me back ASAP, you still owe me $20.
   
   Suing the funeral home? Emotional Grief and Angish?
   
   I can see a new market for cell phone jamming devices already. In short, can you afford to not have a jamming device?
