oh my dang

the ladies in the deans' office are talking about where they're going to be buried. the following is verbatim.

[talking about one's late husband - she has remarried and divorced since he died]
"mike's dead seventeen years yesterday. 1991 - is that seventeen?"
(no, but i'm not going to correct her about how long her husband has been dead)
"oh, patsy. where is he buried?"
"st. joseph's."
"oh, that's a beautiful cemetery. you should go there!"
"well - "
"i would go there! oh patsy, you should go."
like it's a restaurant.

then they started debating the ethics of using the plot she has next to him if she's been with someone else since his death, which i guess is pretty appropriate.
