Most stories that I have heard which start with this posts title usually aren't very funny. And while you may not think this one is so, It's had us in stitches all day.

To understand this story you must understand two things about me:
1) I have a very unusual outlook on life, and what is important. Some years ago I died, and by the Grace of God, and some talented physicians, was restored to life. But it seriously altered my perceptions on many issues, and my values.
2) I talk way too much. I tend to go on, and on, an on. And once the point is made, I go on some more. (So keeping this short is a real trial for me )

While driving to the grocery store today, one of my adopt-a-kids asked why I wasn't angry about something. Most people would have been, after all being stolen from isn't fun. But I went on to explain that because of my past experience, 'things' aren't that important to me. In fact I would give just about anything I have, and I haven't much, to help someone else if I could. And I went on, ... and on, ... and on. And five minutes later I finally shut up.

The younger child in the car then spoke up and said that meant I was UN-dead. At which point the older one chimed in out of the blue "Proof of The Zombie Apocalypse!"

At which point mom almost drove off the road, and I nearly wet myself laughing.

So world, take heed!

We Are HERE! and I HUNGER!

Thanks for sharing jazzon.

Thanks.

That is hilarious. Thank you jazzon! I appreciate your outlook on life. It's perhaps not an easy outlook for most of us because we all have heads full of what we want but I often remind myself of the lyrics to one of my favourite songs (I used to have this in my sig) "and we have survived and we stand here again." The idea is echoed at the end of the song "Strong with the strength of the hands and the feet that will stand here again." Whenever I hear this song, it puts everything into perspective for me.

jazzon: i know intternet can make zombies of people but i never thought we already had living dead among us on gimp chat! just a warning: if you're after brain mine is very well defended and erisian's wouldn't make a full meal anyway...

Love it. Kiddies come out with the most gorgeous things.

I am so glad others found this funny, I thought it would loose something in being retold!



Oddly this came up today. Seven and ten year olds don't let things just 'drop' once they discover they are funny. So I wound up chasing them around the house today moaning, shuffling, and muttering "braaaaiiiiiins" or "huuunnnngry" and other such nonsense.

When one of the boys stumbled around a corner and fell into my arms (thus being caught by the zombie), I made a show trying to unscrew his skull, and get his brain. But when I got the skull open, I saw it was empty, so I said "I'm gonna starve at this rate!" HE hasn't caught on yet. (For ten he's bright enough that he will ge it eventually) So I am still "waiting" for a pillow or something to the back of my head.

jazzon: oh the joy of being mean to small children!

issabella: the golden background of your animation is so beautiful i keep coming back to look at it! what is it?
