Verzasca Dam Puns

The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.

Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.

The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:

"What's sarong with that?"

I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).

His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.

--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)

--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.

Because 10+10 is twenty and 11+11 is twenty too..

Edit: thank you for awards, I have never gotten one before. I apologize that this is a repost, I did see it on TikTok and thought that it was cute and wanted to share. In the future I will check the sub for similar content before I post anything.

But Bill kept the Windows

True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."

I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"

He responds, "it's dead grass."

I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

You officially hit rock bottom

And then you will all be sorry.

No it doesn't.

Now it’s syncing.

Because he wanted space

Edit: Thank you for the awards.

He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"

I will find you. You have my Word.

She said how do you know he was headed to work?

I posted this before. But being a grey and rainy Corona weekend in January I was feeling nostalgic and decided to refine the details a bit and add in an album of images.

I would quite like to go back and do some more tours in the passes and valleys around Vals, such as a multi-day hike through to Olivone.

Looking at my map of my travels around Switzerland I noticed a large hole in the south-east, and decided to fill it. So I headed off for the San Bernardino pass and the area around Splügen for a 4 day adventure.

I was especially happy to do this as I don’t spend enough time in Graubünden. The region has a raw/rough rugged feel to the mountains that you just don’t get in the more popular areas like the Jungfrau region. The enormity of them feels just so much greater, especially the Glarus Thrust area which is just giant raw lumps of rock.

I did this during 22nd-25th of August 2019. Mid August is perfect for these high places. Flowers are out and the high meadows are as green as they are going to get. I passed a few patches of remaining snow high up, but none on the actual path so it didn’t cause a problem.
