The last sumbitch who said to me “I thought you were dead”-- well, I told him he best learn to hire better hit men. And then I kicked him square in the nutballs. ---

Apparently not a case of “really, most sincerely dead”. So no house fell on you? ---

Not that I recall, no. I tend to sleep light, so a house falling on me would probably, at least, wake me up. ---

Methinks I’m starting to become “the spaced out mod” to the OP…just today I wondered who she was when she started talking to me on FB, … …despite only talking to her and having that conversation (including talking about my gaffe that spawned THIS topic) in the history just a few inches above me saying “Who are you again?”:smack: My first impression has been ruined five times over by now. ---

You’re not fooling anyone, you know. 😉 If it’s any consolation, I was gone for a decade, and no one missed me at all. 😛 > [@Poysyn](#): > > Shhh!

This reminds me of one of The Secret Policeman’s Balls when Donovan was performing. When he took the stage someone in the audience yelled “I thought you were dead!”. Donovan looked up with a smirk and said “Not…yet!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-a-mod-thought-i-was-dead-hows-your-may-long/787121.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-a-mod-thought-i-was-dead-hows-your-may-long/787121.md?page=3)
