I figured he was going to tell me about some family member that was buried there, and asked him to tell me.
"The people that live in this town are not allowed to be buried here anymore."
"What?! Why?"
My dad turned to me solemnly "Because..." he said "They are still alive"
I'm surprised he didn't say that people were dying to get in there.
Don't worry, my sister was not in the car at the time, so he got to use that alternate punchline during the next car ride. When we passed the exact same cemetery. Which was on the opposite side of town from where we were driving. So I'm pretty sure he took a detour just so he could try the other punchline.
