I feel bad because so many of my posts about weird things from the newspaper are in South Carolina. Today I am happy to report I found something weird in North Carolina. Well two weird things actually. One happened in Graham, N.C. on Friday. Police were called to check out a foul odor in downtown Graham. It seems that a body picked up nine days prior had been left in a hearse at a funeral home. They had picked up the woman in Carrboro. She had been dead a week before she was discovered. No family could be found. The undertaker said he would put her on ice but it must have slipped his mind. However don't you think the smell would have been a clue to unpack the hearse? The N.C. Board of Funeral Services are investigating. All I can say is I drove through Graham last Friday and it was hot as Hades.
Next item is less odorous depending on the man's personal hygiene. This happened in Lincolnton at a Baptist Church. Deputies were called to the church because shots were being. fired. They got there to find a naked man on the porch with another man taking cover behind a truck. The naked man reached for his gun when the deputies went to arrest him. The paper did not say where the gun was before he reached for it. I am trying not to think about that part. The deputies used a taser gun on the naked man. The paper did not say where the taser gun hit him. I am trying not to think about that either. The one thing I am thinking about are the lax dress codes for churches today. This naked man took "come as you are" to a whole new meaning.
