Sounds like something out of Six Feet Under. FromMSNBC.com:

Man's coffin kills wife on way to cemetery
A traffic accident hurls coffin against the back of woman's neck

SAO PAULO, Brazil - Police say a woman has died on the way to a cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband's coffin against the back of her neck.

Police said 67-year-old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred Monday in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Barcelos died instantly.

Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.

The driver of the hearse and Barcelos' son suffered minor injuries.

isn't that ironic, dontcha think?

 

Perhaps it's nice to go with your spouse and go through less pain? In a morbid way it's almost like the husband said "aw no, you're comin too!"

Perhaps not easier on the son...

 

You say perhaps alot.

 

Perhaps.

I just finished writing a work document so I'm in a different vocabulary state of mind from my normal self.

 

A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think...

Irony vs. Coincidence

The concept of irony is oft misused. Because this happens to be a pet-peeve of mine, I've been attempting to educate my friends on the subject. Thanks to my campaign, they now look over their shoulders to see if I'm around before calling anything ironic. Admittedly, this is not exactly the result I was going for... but it's a start.

A thorough entry here seems like a good way to reach a broader audience
