    Congregation nearly died with the fright !
    here
    A Brazilian bricklayer reportedly killed in a car crash shocked his mourning family by showing up alive at his funeral.

    Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, 59, had identified him as the victim of a car crash in Parana state in southern Brazil, police said.

    As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day, which happened to be the holiday of Finados, when Brazilians visit cemeteries to honour the dead.

    What family members did not know was that Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio said. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Just imagining the relief the family felt is great. Great story to tell everyone though for the guy they thought was dead.

    I'd cover myself in flour, burst in, point at a random relative, and scream: you killed me!!"

    A similar thing happened near where I live a few years back. A young lad didn't come home one night, there was a car crash and the victim was identified wrongly as being him. The lad arrived home and the house was full of friends and relatives. It turned out the lad who had died(rip) was his mate, his parents were in the house comforting the other fella's parents.
    I know it sounds like a film but the fella who wasn't dead worked where I worked, the whole place was talking about it.
