Man leaves dead mother in armchair for two years

BAVARIA - A German left his dead mother seated in her favorite armchair at their shared home for two years because he could not face organizing a funeral, police in the southern town of Fürstenfeldbruck said Friday.

The woman died of natural causes in the chair in July 2005 at the age of 92, a police spokesman said. A doctor called to the scene at the time gave the son a death certificate but he did not register the death.

Neighbors recently alerted police about the corpse. The man told police he could not bear to move his mother and said he never again entered the room where she was seated. Police have started an investigation for violating German burial law.

Oh man, can you believe the stench that must have come from that room? I know I'll hardly forget that sickly sweet smell of a three-weeks-old corpse I was called to as a paramedic...

I wonder why they only investigate for violating burial law - if she wasn't registered dead, wouldn't she still receive her pension?

I mean, this guy was definitely not Master Bates... But "Psycho" does come to mind!

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?

Burying a zombie is a restriction of its human rights. *nods*

Because someone else already did?

That's a good one. Or should I say "Graagh!"?
Because someone else already did?
Well, yes - but try to give it humorous shot?

Because cremating is what she preferred?

Because...oh shit, I'm drunk. Who let me loose on the internet? Because, because in death or in life she we'll be the greatest god damn cook I've ever had the pleasure of being breast fed from.

SHe's a collectible?

Because she makes a great conversation piece?

Because she is my best chance at completing my maggot collection?

Because the whole family would miss having her at the table too much around Christmas time?

The last one is an actual joke within the family.

That's a good one. Or should I say "Graagh!"?

Hmm, if a zombie ate the brains of another zombie, who happened to be a close relation of said first zombie, pre zombification - would this be zombie incest? *ponders*

Because cremating is what she preferred?
And once she's all dry and mummified she burns more easily?

Eew. But clever.
SHe's a collectible?
Gotta collect'em all? :p

Hehe.
More eew.
"Look, she's not dead - she's moving!" "That's maggots" "Oh. Okay!"
Hmm, if a zombie ate the brains of another zombie, who happened to be a close relation of said first zombie, pre zombification - would this be zombie incest? *ponders*
Huh?

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?

Why wait until she's dead? :p

Well, yes - but try to give it humorous shot?
Because he's a necrophiliac?
(Will it, too, be incest? Or rape?)

Or she fits the Ancient Egyptian motif of the room.

I seem to have lost my humor gun. Damn.

Cause now you always have the last word ?

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?
Because she isn't dead but only resting?

/Monthy Python reference.

How about:"Why waste good food?"

Woah, she must have been a tough bitch. Even Stalin only managed a day before being disturbed.

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?[/B]

Because she is made of citronella and her stench keeps away pesky mosquitos?

She's a whore! She's a godless jizabelle whore!

No mother! Don't hurt her...

Because I'd need time to find a wooden stake to drive through her heart and some communion wafers to stuff in her mouth.

Hmm, if a zombie ate the brains of another zombie, who happened to be a close relation of said first zombie, pre zombification - would this be zombie incest? *ponders*No, but it'd get ZSE and go wobbly.

Woah, she must have been a tough bitch. Even Stalin only managed a day before being disturbed.
I did?

Anyway...on topic...because burial is a waste of a good luge. *nods*

You could be studying the decomposition process, hands on, or practicing the art of mummification in your spare time...

Because you need her to go through the car pool lane?

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?

She told me she'd kill me if I did.

Could NSG think of a good reason not to bury your dead mother?

She has your penis in a deathgrip?

:eek:

If that were going to happen, I think it would've done before now...

The lightning bit, I mean.

what has she done for me lately?
