Sleeping in a coffin solves his worries

PEACE OF MIND. Mang Andres (not his real name) who has been working for a funeral parlor in Metro Manila for 30 years, told an Ear informer how he gets to have peace of mind when he has serious problems. His solution: He would sleep in one of the empty coffins on display in the funeral parlor. He has been doing this for years and it works.

CAN’T EXPLAIN. Mang Andres could not explain why he gets peace of mind while sleeping in a coffin. But a psychologist friend of our informer put it this way: “Maybe in his sub-conscious he realizes that he would end up in that box if he doesn’t stop worrying about his problem.” He added: “Just a thought.”
