Arizona Man
Preserves His Dead Wife in a Coffee Table-Fiction!
Summary
of Rumor Jeff Green couldn't bear to part with
his deceased wife, Lucy, so he had a special glass enclosure
constructed that would preserve her body...and turned it into a
coffee table for his front room.
The eRumor says he got
special permission for the project and paid $6,000 to have the box
constructed.
The eRumor is circulated with a picture of Jeff
and some of his friends enjoying an evening around Lucy.
The
Truth This idea probably resulted from drinking
some of the beers in the picture and the realization that the length
of an aquarium (or whatever it is) was about the same as the height
of the woman they talked into climbing into it for the
picture.
There is no record of any of this, or the people
named, in Arizona.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
These words served no consolation to Jeff's despair. At
the funeral, in an act of desperation, Jeff decided that he would not let
Lucy leave him.
"I called the cemetery caretaker and explained my
feelings. I spoke with the authorities and got special permission to take
my wife home with me. They thought it strange, but I was allowed to take
her with me. I rather have her at home than seven feet under ground. Lucy
had a great sense of humor and I'm sure she would appreciate being my
coffee table."
Jeff ordered a special glass casing that eliminates the
decomposition of a dead body. "It cost me about $6,000.00, but it was
worth it." Some of his friends and relatives, filled with fear,
stopped visiting Jeff. His true friends respected his decision and
continue visiting him. Some even comment that it is a nice piece of
furniture.
