Well, thank goodness you're here. Am I glad to see you because I wanted to tell you about this really strange thing that's happened. First though, prime your pump with some freshly brewed coffee and a virtual treat. Ready? This is a 'say what?' kind of tale...and it's true.
A man who turned up alive nearly 20 years after he
disappeared has been told he cannot have a driving licence because he is
still legally dead.
He was officially declared dead eight years later, only to resurface in 2005.
"It kind of went further than I ever expected it to," Mr Miller said.
"I just kind of took off and ended up in different places."
The 61-year-old went to court to apply for a driving licence and to have his Social Security number reinstated.
However, his request to reverse the 1994 death ruling was turned down by Judge Allan Davis, who informed him there was a three-year limit for death notices to be repealled.
The judge admitted it was a "strange, strange situation".
"We've got the obvious here - a man sitting in the courtroom who appears to be in good health," he said.
He told Mr Miller: "I don't know where that leaves you, but you're still deceased as far as the law is concerned."
Whoa! Hang on a minute? "When you daid...you daid!" Have I got that right? So, like, he can't be prosecuted or incarcerated or anything, eh...because he's dead. Think of the possibilities...
See ya, eh!
