Timber

In my job as an Undertaker I have been embarrassed on many an occasion. One was slipping down a hill in snowy conditions at a burial. another was when I split my trousers in front of a family on a house removal.
Well today I did it again. On a burial I stepped over the 6 foot drop to get to the lowering strap, when I brushed against a headstone....which promptly collapsed with a crash??? Now on the positive side I have probably saved someones life as if it had fell on them it would have caused some injury. On the negative side the family saw and heard it? I managed to keep my icy cool and a straight face although I knew my work mates would takes the urine after.
Sore bot today so my mind drawn back to the concerns I have and will be mighty glad when I get my appointment. I am still convinced it was due to my argument with the concrete when I tried to stop a run away dog going into the road?
