Some of you alert readers might recall that a couple of weeks ago I brought you the story of a man from Alabama who attracted a bit of a stir by burying his wife in his front yard. As part of my solemn duty to keep my friends fully informed, I now have an update. Granted, this affair doesn’t hit the TV news trifecta: unless you live in the town where it happened, it’s not local, the story’s not exactly late-breaking, and you really wouldn’t say it’s “live.”
But I digress. The word is that the late Mrs. Davis has now been removed from the yard. Her husband says cremation is next, but as a red-blooded Internet busybody, I of course have a better idea! According to the AP, when Mr. Davis went to court to argue this thing, he wore a houndstooth hat. This puts him in that vast and noble group of folks who could be described as “not Auburn fans.”
So what better resting place than the end zone at Bryant-Denny Stadium? Hey, it worked for Jimmy Hoffa in Jersey.
