jokemaster Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 A man whose dying wish was to be buried along with his mobile phone has to be dug up again after his family discovered they had forgotten to insert his SIM card. Arso Banjeglav, 67, of Montenegrin, was so pre-occupied with sending text message to his friends on his mobile phone that he told his son 38-year-old son Brano of his wish to be buried with it. However, after his funeral, his family discovered that his grandson, who was playing with the device, had taken out the SIM card. "We put the phone in the coffin as he wanted, but my 10-year-old son had been playing with it and had taken the card out without my knowledge," Brano said. "So now we have got to dig him up again to put it in the phone." Your toughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcoolguy972 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 This is ridiculous... He's DEAD! I'm all for honoring them and everything, but this is just too far. These people need a reality check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It's Montenegro, actually. The culture over there respects death more than Mexico. When someone makes a wish for death, people follow it to the letter. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rcty Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 You will leave this world with what you came in with (in my opinion). I respect the family for fulfilling the man's will, but the man's will is a little out of hand - Unless someday waaaay in the future the cell phone is worth like trillions of dollars (or whatever advanced currency they have, bytetokens maybe?) for being a rare artefact... ~Rcty Rcty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 my dream job = GRAVEDIGGER! :twisted: awsome ice breaker at parties :P Not as awesome as you would think it would be. I do have a few interesting stories to tell though, only if they ask though. Id love to hear an example. Smile Well it's more crazy as in annoying as hell. There's one lady who moans and cries like no other, every day. Now that normally isn't bad, mourning is normal. It's six months later though now, and it's still everyday. Which is also not too bad, she is just taking it harder than others. She brings a lawn chair and a book, and her grave is on the edge of the driveway that is the main road for the cemetery. Now the thing is, she only moans and cries when there is someone around observing her. If no one else is in the cemetery she sits there and reads her book. When a car drives by, she puts the book down and starts wailing and moaning, then reads again when they are past. When someone walks through, she cries and yells and wails, but as soon as they are gone, she goes back to reading. So yeah, not as much crazy as it is just annoying.

These people need a reality check. it's not ridiculous, it was in his will. I don't think you would like your family to completely ignore your will and do whatever they wanted with your body when you're dead (don't start getting necro fantasies), and yes it's exactly the same thing.
