So yesterday when I was visiting my friends I overheard them talking about what I thought was getting a job as a pallbearer. So I said are you going to be a pallbearer for hire? I'd never thought about that, but somebody has to do it and what if you don't have any manly men to do it in your circle of family and friends? Then they informed me that the casket actually is wheeled out on some device and the people don't carry it anymore, they just walk beside it. Well that's boring. But they weren't actually talking about being a rent-a-pallbearer anyway, just getting a job. Oftentimes I find myself overhearing things and my mind plays tricks on me and I think they said something far more interesting than they actually said. The other day in church they said something about Easter morn and I thought they said east end boys, you know like in that Pet Shop Boys song. It was so random. And I know they didn't say it, but I couldn't figure out what they had said, I had to ask David. I wish I knew what part of my brain that was, it's kind of fun to hear things that are more interesting than what they started out to be. :) I know you're thinking I'm crazy, but that's okay, aren't we all a little bit?

I'm pretty sure that last year the pallbearers did carry the casket at my Grandma's funeral. There wasn't a wheeled contraption. Maybe it's your choice to use it or not!?!
That is hilarious... I'm reminded of the Gilmore Girls episode where Lorelai is walking with the procession and even carries the casket for a few minutes when she's trying to get the inn.
you're totally not crazy. i went to the doctor for this recently because i thought i was losing my hearing. it turns out that my ears are fine but there is something in my brain misfiring and it causes me to interpret things diffrently. all the women in my family are the same way. our ears our fine, it's just our wiring in our brains is slow (just the hearing part of our brains though, nothing else)
