A fellow co-worker of mine (names changed) received the following call from his bank recently:

Bank : Hello, is this John?

John : Yes.

Bank : Yes this is ABC Bank. We were running an annual check of our accounts, and it turns out that since you\’ve been reported as dead, we have to flag your account as a possible fraudulent account.

John : I\’m what??

Bank : Dead, sir.

John : Huh?

Bank : Are you feeling okay sir?? You shouldn\’t try to talk so much in your condition.

Ok…so I paraphrased it.

Turns out all three credit agencies had John listed as deceased. Hence, when the bank ran a credit check, they discovered he was just faking the whole walking around not rotting thing. Always knew there was something funny going on.

Once he established that he\’d still have to pay taxes even though he was \”dead\”, he sought to play God and create life….his own. At this point two of the credit agencies have agreed he is a little too fresh to be considered worm food.

Now who exactly has the power to declare you dead without producing a corpse or a death certificate is what I want to know. After all….this would make for an awesome practical joke.
