The tour guide said, “Apparently the old monks had been dead for years. No one realized it until an earthquake knocked one of them over.”

Poor guys! The one on the ground actually looks the most comfy.
Barbara — when one is dead I think things like that don’t matter so much anymore. 😉
It’s hell to get old. LOL or so some say. Well done Q. Too funny. Have a wonderful Monday 😉
Thom — the alternative to getting old is getting dead. Which would you rather?
Sometimes dead doesn’t sound too bad. LOL
What a hoot! And, yes, it is hell to get old and no one is surprised if they stumble over your body in church! I love it! — your take on the day, not getting old!!! Have a fun one, Quilly!!

Sylvia – -well, maybe someone would have noticed if they used less or a different incense! 😉
The old monk is putting his feet up to regain circulation in his toes.
Karen — and it would likely work if he weren’t already dead.
Haha!!! Loved it!
Teresa — my pleasure is in entertaining others. Thank you.
I like your blog I came to say thanks for leaving a comment at my place thanks oh and I agree with you throw them in to
Larry — you seem to be having some trouble formulating your thoughts. Been sitting still too long? O-o.
Obviously there are hazards to prolonged meditation. Gives meaning to the phrase “slower than death”. Good one!
My MM: Afterlife
Another reason to not get old.
Fat chance on that!
I’m going to take down the globe, so could you leave me a comment and let me know if it works better for you. Can’t have one of my fav bloggers being frustrated by a tech problem. Cause if you’re having trouble then others probably are too.
Thanks so much for figuering it out.
Peggy — the globe is always the code that is loading when my computer freezes.
Grandma — lack of movement promotes lack of circulation!
This reminds me of some of the cathedrals I visited in Europe. If a monk fell down and petrified, would anyone notice? Well . . . I guess the Japanese tourists would and they’d photograph it!
Kelley — I’d laugh except that is just too true!
A shockwave went through the others, too.
Tony — I imagine so. Brother Benedict has been silently fuming for weeks because he thought Brother Peter had stopped bathing in retaliation over the unfortunate bean incident.
good thing his face didn’t fall off!
Tilden — do faces do that?
Ouch! Thanks for dropping by.My Microfiction
John — I love your ever so thoughtful comment. Thanks for the effort.
Just hope they weren’t Petrified. Nice one Quilly,
Bill — they look pretty dried up to me.
ouch! and now they’re on display for posterity
Juliana — not posterity, prosperity — after the monks were discovered visitation at the monastery really picked up (and donations, too). Burying the monks might have a negative impact on tourism.
YIKES!!
What an imagination — but I laughed out loud, thinking of some of the older monks I’ve seen… oh dear!
Susan — did you poke them to see if they grunted?
OH MY!!!! That’s a really funny story! hahhaha Funny and morose. Its sometimes difficult to get the right levels, but this was wonderful 🙂
JM
Jillien — I thought the wackiness of the tour guide showing the bodies would make a nice foil for the grim parts.
My goodness – desiccated monks! Very funny
Jabblog — I am certain the monks would disagree if they could. LOL!
Oh what a shame! :0
