Ernest Morris+FollowI Got Free Meals For Weeks By Crashing Different FuneralsA few years ago I was completely broke and trying to find a job. I was living on ramen and cheap pasta and I was getting pretty desperate. I had this totally wild idea. I realized that if you check the local paper or church bulletin there is a funeral almost every day and with funerals there is always a reception afterward with food. My plan was simple. I would put on a button-up shirt show up a little late and just quietly slip into the crowd. I found that nobody questions the quiet person in the corner who takes a plate and looks a little sad. I had amazing food. We are talking roast beef sliders pasta salad and even lemon squares. It was so much better than what I could actually afford to eat. This whole thing worked for three straight weeks. Free meals multiple times a week. I even started to recognize some of the same funeral directors. One day a director gave me this really weird look and I knew my luck had run out. I finally stopped and went back to buying my own groceries. But yeah for almost a month I survived just by being the random mourner in the back loading up on sandwiches that were meant for the grieving. #Survival #LifeHack #BrokeLife #Humor #Grief #FunnyStory #Confessions #FreeFood #Funeral #Food #Foodie 4457Share
schmidtgeorge+FollowThis "Big Penny" Bridge Just Ruined Its 100th TruckFound a story from Lansing, Michigan that I thought was pretty interesting. There's a small railroad bridge there the locals call "Big Penny," and it's well known for being a bit too low for many of the tall trucks that try to go under it. The bridge just hit a major milestone, actually claiming its 100th victim since 2004. The community reportedly held a party to celebrate the occasion.😂 Someone decorated it with googly eyes and fangs, so it looks like a monster waiting for its next meal. The city has allowed the decorations to stay, perhaps hoping it would get the attention of drivers who missed all the warning signs. It didn't seem to help much, as the bridge claimed another truck less than 12 hours after the decorations were put up 😝 #Lansing #BigPenny #UrbanLegend #LocalNews #FunnyStory #Community #Cars #Traffic 10Share
