"At first, I was completely shocked when I got the phone call," says the widow. "Then I started laughing a little when I hung up the phone. Jon was a practical joker, and I thought, 'He's pulling the last joke on us.'" (Philadelphia Daily News)

Good for the widow, she took an honest mistake for what it was-a mistake. I wish her well.

Hahah! That Jon. What a practical joker! First he pretends that he doesn't know my name. Then he pretends that he's not breathing anymore. And then he drags his corpse into a pet store pretending to be a bunch of fish!! Hahah Wooohooo! Yes sir. What a riot. That guy always cracks me up. Now where did I put that bottle of vodka?

And to think how close I accidentally came to buying a dead body rather than a sack of food for the dog this weekend. Oh well, he would have had to eat it if I couldn't return it since don't have money for both.

Instead of lamb and rice formula you can have Jon Kenoyer and rice formula?

Better to be shipped with the fishes than to feed them!

Boy, kids--you're in rare form this morning. I'm with ohio--what happened to the fish? Another example of shoddy reporting.

PA seems to have won this round.
Congrats and we will send your little puppy pooping plaque in the mail, via the pet store of course.

The wife sure has a great attitude. Sad that he died but much better than living on and on like Ronald R. did...alzheimers is an ugly thing.

Don't people with alzheimers frequently get lost?

RMM - Great minds think alike, eh? No, I'm not from Canada, but we are pretty close up here in the NW corner of the country.

OMG G-Man....damn funny.
I was happy to see that at least USAirways made the mixup....when I first read the headline I thought....oh no...they found a mailman desperately trying to stuff a former coworkers body into a mail slot.
