Only in mother Russia.

Wow! Of all the weird things you hear, this one tops them all. :oo

 

[informal]

Makes you wonder how many people have actually been buried alive accidently.

 

[Rekrab]

Long ago (19th Century and earlier?) they sometimes made coffins with escape hatches and breathing tubes to the surface, just in case you weren't really dead. It reminds me of an old blues/rock song with the line "you might wake up in the morning and find your poor self dead."

Damn, I had to laugh because the story is so absurd it could be a comic strip. Dostojewski would hate me.

 

[Short Bus]

Hold on a second!!!
She may have been dead the first time.

First Lazurus Fagilyu second, Idontknow on third
