| 8. My all-time favourite, courtesy of my dad... |
|
He was giving me a ride to a friend's place one day, my brother was with us, and as we drove past a graveyard, my brother noticed the gates were open, and pointed it out. My dad glanced over and said, "oh yeah, people are dying to get in there."
