The Dead Awakens

The Dead Awakens 

The elderly man was on holiday up north when he realised 
his wallet was at the hotel and in his other jacket problem
 he had forgotten the name of the hotel.
Luckily he had a few notes in his watch pocket and loose change enough 
to take the bus home, the tour took 12 hours
on a bus that was full job seekers and their children. 
At home he remembered the name of the hotel, he rang 
 through Skype spoke to the reception who said “but you 
died two days ago.” Do you remember me the old man asked?” 
“Yes, said the man at the desk, but you`re dead we saw you at 
the morgue.” The old man took the first flight back to the hotel he was hit 
by a golf ball were a famous golfer was
showed the crowd how far he could shoot from the Eifel tower.
 The receptionist came out and said, “I told him he was dead, but he didn`t believe me. “
