Does This Look Like The Face Of A Guy Who Dug Up His Dad Who'd Been Dead For 30 Years Just To Argue With Him?

LINCOLN COUNTY, KY (WAVE) – A man was arrested after deputies said he tried to dig up his late father’s grave in order to argue with him, according to a report. Michael May, 44, was arrested after digging up the grave of his father at the Pilot Baptist Cemetery near Stanford, in Lincoln County, on Monday night, deputies told Lexington television station WLEX. May told the arresting deputies his dad died about 30 years ago. The cemetery registry lists 13 people with the last name of May buried at that location. Willis Green May was the only one who died around 30 years ago — on Nov. 23, 1983 — but it’s not clear if he was Michael May’s father. A man named Eugene May was the last person ever buried at Pilot Baptist, in 2002. Michael May, who investigators said was intoxicated, was charged with violating a grave, public intoxication and possession of marijuana.

You know when you’re arguing with somebody and you’re getting absolutely killed?  When everything you say the other person has a perfect rebuttal or witty response to?  It’s a helpless feeling.  Well that’s what I’m guessing happened here but to an absolute extreme.  When that happens you spend the next couple of days thinking non-stop of perfect responses that you should’ve/could’ve/would’ve said that would’ve totally burned the other person and won you the argument.  It’s basically the Jerk Store episode of Seinfeld but instead of it taking a week or so to come up with a good come back it took this guy 30 years.  Hey, some people can think of comebacks faster than others.  He’s been driving around thinking about the perfect wording of his response for three decades.  His Dad even died before he was able to come up with something but did that stop the kid from digging up his grave to lay that perfect burn on his dead Dad?  Nope!  You can’t waste a good burn. I guarantee the payoff was worth it when he boom roasted his Dad’s dead body.

PS- I like to think employers can look past certain criminal charges.  This guy got charged with public intoxication.  That one is probably fine.  Also possession of marijuana.  That one gets more okay by the day.  But violating a grave?  That’s a tough one to look past.  At the very least he’ll have some explaining to do next time he has a job interview.
