Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse.

The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their contract’s sick-leave provisions.

One morning at the bargaining table, the company’s chief negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper,

This man,” he announced, “called in sick yesterday!”

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score.

The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator.


“Wow,” he said. “Just think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn’t been sick!”

“Well boys, the time is near, and when I pass I’d like to be buried at sea.”

So the boys agreed.

A few days after his passing, the local front page read,

“Local Fishermen Were Shocked Today When Their Nets Brought in Patrick McRay in a Coffin, 3 Shovels and the Bodies of His Three Sons.

Funeral arrangements haven’t yet been made, however, it is believed all wished to be buried at sea.”

The 3 sons thought he meant actually buried at sea hence the 3 shovels and 3 dead sons who I would imagine drowned trying to dig a hole in the sea.
