Grandma's House

I guess breaking and entering is a lot more tiring these days.

A man was charged with burglary and criminal mischief Thursday after he allegedly broke into a funeral home and fell asleep in a coffin.

Joel Fish, 20, of Queensbury, was arrested after he was discovered at the O'Leary Funeral Home in Canton, 127 miles north of Syracuse.

Debra White, wife of the home's funeral director Joe White, said she noticed a broken window and open door to the casket display room when she awoke at 6:30 a.m. Inside, she saw a boot and pair of pants on the floor and a pair of knees sticking out of a stainless steel coffin.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Mrs. White found this guy, especially if he'd woken, sat up, and said in his best Bela Lugosi voice, "Good evening!" If that had happened to me, they'd have a whole new entrance.
