Thread: Open Date Gift Certificates

    Temporary Death Certificate

    The title of this thread brought to mind when a friend of mine managed to get a "Temporary Death Certificate' issued. She was working as an owner's agent of a foreign ship that came into Port St. Joe, having had a crew member die the previuos night while at sea. She had to get local LEOs to investigate as with any unattended death. The local coroner had to verify the death. When the ship was finished loading and ready to sail, the death became a problem. In order to clear the ship to leave the port, all the crew had to be accounted for, and they were one short. The coroner was not sure he could issue a death certificate on a non-citizen who died outside of the country. Eventually he was persuaded to issue a temporary death certificate in the name of the crew member. That was enough to satisfy U.S. Customs and Immigration folks, and the ship was allowed to sail out of port. We started laughing after the ship left. We could imagine the reaction to and various translations of temporary death certificate. In Spanish it would probably be a certifcate of temporary death. I told my friend I thought she just documented for the first time the existence of a zombie.

    I work like 5 doors down from Talon, and could swing out toward the East/N.E after work tomorrow if no one else is going that way.

    Did you read any of this thread?

    I'm tempted to say yes, get the ride, and bask in all the new comedic material.

    And that's how they drive. At least I think their eyes are closed, it's really hard to tell
