A preface: the vehicle being hoisted onto the tow truck is a hearse.  I’m sure it’s not an American hearse, and being that “The Clerks” storefront to the right of the photo is written in English, I’m going to assume this is across the pond in Great Britain.

I really hope this picture is from an outtake to a movie because if this is real, I’ve lost my faith in humanity.

Furthermore, if this is real I’ve lost faith in the goodness of the Creator. How could he create people so stupid?  Maybe God enjoys watching our stupidity.  Maybe it’s a never ending source of humor for the heavens. A running divine sitcom.

But this.  THIS.

I don’t even know where to start?  Did the funeral director default on his hearse payments?

Was the hearse illegally parked?

Did the hearse itself die?

Couldn’t you still place the coffin in the back of the hearse and have the tow truck cart the hearse and coffin to the cemetery?

WHAT is going through that funeral director’s mind (who, BTW, is probably the guy in front of the coffin with his hands clenched together)?

WHAT is the tow truck driver thinking?  Maybe the deceased is his ex-lover? Maybe he knows the family of the deceased and he’s playing a practical, and very poorly timed, joke?

I need your help with this one.  And I need your caption.

Special thanks to Ken Hagerman for forwarding this photo to me.
