This IS trenchantly funny! Unless,of course you & your wife enjoy old cemeteries (my family does!)
Reminded me of the time I startled my Mom & friends by crying;
"DAMN,if I only had my shovel!!"
I'd spotted a patch of rare Clerodendrum fragrans that was next to the cemetery-on a soon-to be developed old homesite.
Only after looking at the startled faces around me did I realize how weird that sounded!
