Tito Vasquez was late for his own funeral, but it wasn’t his fault. His friends and family gathered at Campos de Cristo cemetery in Bogota, Columbia at the appointed time, waiting for the guest of honor to arrive for the ceremony. They waited a very, very long time. When the unthinkable became apparent – that his body was not going to arrive, police were called for an unusual missing persons report.
There are many jobs where you can get by with slipping out for a few tall cool ones without notice, but a hearse driver on the way to the cemetery is not one of them. Eventually police spotted the glaringly out of place hearse in the parking lot of a motel close by. It seems that the drivers’ urge for a beer overcame his sense of duty, and once ensconced in the bar, forgot about Vasquez who had places to go!
