I wonder how the tax office feels about collecting taxes on a dead guy for 8 years?

UNC_Samurai		2007-12-15 02:00:46 PM

He could still vote in Chicago.

If this happened to me, I'd have a grand old time acting like a zombie because what are they going to do?

You try so hard to get people to listen to you... trying to tell them that you're still out there, breathing, going on... and sometimes, you feel like giving up.

FTFA: the shock of hearing he was officially dead could have killed her father.

so then he'd be like.. double dead?

Alyna_jf		2007-12-15 04:26:36 PM

I'm dead... so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I know this happens somewhat frequently over here in the US, it has to do with people being lazy when filing health insurance papers. It is very easy for a hospital to mark that you are deceased on your discharge papers. It has gotten better thanks to mandatory electronic filing, but it still happens.

Sumdumfarkr		2007-12-15 04:28:04 PM

Now he wants Braaiinsss, braaiinsss!

Dracula was from Romania, right?

Son of Schmilsson		2007-12-15 05:23:36 PM

I think Dracula was from Transylvania

I think Dracula was from Transylvania

No. The fictional Dracula was from Transylvania but I think the real Dracula, Vlad the impaler, was from Romania. Could be wrong...

Son of Schmilsson		2007-12-15 05:40:40 PM

Son of Schmilsson: I think Dracula was from Transylvania

Transylvania is a region of Romania?

who knew?
Certainly not me.

When I was eight I realized that I had been alive for eight years. I thought that was amaing at the time.

FTA:
"We have had mistakes in the past," Tarciatu said. "But not something so serious showing someone had died."

Sounds like someone needs to stop hiring the discount hit-men.

Driver		2007-12-15 06:24:09 PM

He seems pretty lively for a dead man.

/Has the junk mail in the bathrobe pocket.

"You're dead, sir," one of his two enlisted men explained.

Doc Daneeka jerked his head up quickly with resentful distrust. "What's that?"

"You're dead, sir," repeated the other. "That's probably the reason you always feel so cold."

"That's right, sir. You've probably been dead all this time and we just didn't detect it."

"What the hell are you both talking about?"

"It's true, sir," said one of the enlisted men. "The records show that you went up in McWatt's plane to collect some flight time. You didn't come down in a parachute, so you must have been killed in the crash."

"That's right, sir," said the other. "You ought to be glad you've got any temperature at all."

Doc Daneeka's mind was reeling in confusion. "Have you both gone crazy?" he demanded. "I'm going to report this whole insubordinate incident to Sergeant Towser."

"Sergeant Towser's the one who told us about it," said either Gus or Wes. "The War Department's even going to notify your wife."

Tax office...FEEL?

I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
Heh. Good one.

Timisoara is in Transylvania, FWIW.

/it was Temesvar, Hungary, till 1919
//being dead might actually beat living in Romania

KrispyKritter		2007-12-15 07:00:04 PM

FTA: He has since prepared papers to prove he is still alive.

evilgreg		2007-12-15 07:03:00 PM

Wait... you mean he didn't notice the smell?

Damn... there goes my left foot. I was using that.

"I thought you were dead!"

"Yeah, I get that a lot..."

Wouldn't the toe tag have tipped him off?

bobsuncle		2007-12-15 07:20:53 PM

Are they going to put his wife in jail and take away his canoe?

Bucky Katt		2007-12-15 08:10:57 PM

This happened to me once. The paperwork was a nightmare.

blicero		2007-12-15 09:51:25 PM

I drive a sedan, live in the suburbs, and think about other women. I died years ago too.

DogGetOutOfTheTrash		2007-12-15 10:32:01 PM

I came for the Holy Grail reference, and will be leaving most pleased.

Alyna_jf: FTFA: the shock of hearing he was officially dead could have killed her father.

so then he'd be like.. double dead?

It would make the paperwork much easier, so if he could just oblige...

But it so happens that this man is only mostly dead.

boonfarker		2007-12-15 10:53:23 PM

Clearly someone hasn't heard of the warning signs of death:

and I came in here looking for Doc Daneeka. At least Dead for Tax Reasons got an unexpected chuckle out of me.
