Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, defiant until the end and beyond, could not be forced into the back of the Cadillac Crowne Royale Limo Hearse that was to transport her from the hospital to the Mitchell Brothers Funeral Home in downtown Detroit yesterday.
Ive never seen anything like it, said Casey Waldorf, hearse driver and 12-year employee of Mitchell Brothers, we got her in the coffin okay, but when we got it back to the car, the door was jammed up, and it wasnt opening for anything. Its never done that before.
Thousands joined the procession.
According to Waldorf, Parks vigilant protest continued from there.
We decided to try and cram the casket into the back through the front door, but that wasn't going to happen. Its one of those big fancy ones we see every now and again when someone rich or special dies. Well, I knew we were going to have a problem as soon as we opened the door, because we brought the smaller of our two hearses. The other one was grabbing somebody across town. Sure enough, that thing wasnt fitting in there for shit. We must have tried ten different angles but it just wasnt going in.
The two men found the only way to get the casket in to the hearse was to wedge it into the front seat with the feet end sticking out of the passenger window. With Mrs. Parks secured with a set of borrowed bungee cords, the funeral procession continued on as scheduled. And having once again battled oppression and won, Parks took her rightful place in the front seat.
Oh God... Posted: 11/17/2005by: Laughing too hard to type name I believe I was just fired from work for causing a minor semi major disturbance. I saw that face and the headline and I lost it.
I was crying and laughing and spitting up coffee. I was spitting all over the girl in the next cubicle. I think I heard her yell "sexual harrassment" but I was too busy trying to refocus my watery eyes to actually read the damn story. She got up and stormed away and I briefly was able to calm down. However a few lines into the article and I was spitting all over the aforementioned girl's chair now.
By the time I managed to use my weakened hand to scroll to the bottom and saw the coffin in the car I was now on the floor. I ruined my striped shirt by the way. Which also reminds me that Latin cleaning company is raping us because no floor should be that filthy. A fellow coworker was convinced I was having a gran mal seizure as I heard him yell "My God he's having a gran mal seizure". He lept upon me and tried to pull my tounge. I was neither aroused nor amused and bit his finger while I kept laughing. He retreated.
At this point my boss was now standing over me ranting and raving along with an an HR Associate who was horrified to see what was on my computer, and said girl from beginning. I tried to compose myself but kept seeing that stupid face smiling and failed to stop screaming in laughter like a lunatic. I kept seeing through my blurred vision my boss vehmently pointing outside and heard the words "out" and "finished" and "lawsuit".
They left and I began typing this and I would like to know if you have employment there. I wr1te gud. Why would Posted: 10/27/2005by: matt I give a fuck if black guys fuck white women. Just like I don't give a shit if immigrants obtain laweful employment. "Oh NO! The black man fucked all our white women what are we going to do?" Only people that do are racist morons anyways, and I look at their opnion the same way I look at my toilet when everything doesn't go down the 1st flush. Go ahead and stick a big cock in their mouth, shut them up for a bit-fine by me.
