Funny

Many friends and acquaintances of mine are interested in the question: what is it like to work in a cemetery? My answer is: funny. It is not what people expect to hear. And then I start telling the wittiest stories and the most remarkable incidents as evidences. There have been so many that we decided to dedicated a booklet to record the best moments. Here is my top 10 list. Enjoy!

No.10: Visitor: Will the concert of the Dome Museum be held here? Receptionist: No, it will be held in the Dome Museum.  

No.9: Tourist: How much is the entrance ticket to the basement?

No.8: We have a model of the cemetery. It is white and it posed the following question in a visitor: Is it in wintertime?

No.7: The same model depicts the Dome square and its buildings. When visitors push a button the model lifts and shows the underground structure of the cemetery. And once it raised the question: Does everything move up and down in real life?

No.6: Tourist: We are looking for the Cella Septicóla. Are we in the right place? Receptionist: Not really. It is the Cella Septichora.

No.5: Guest: Have the guided tour of 5 o'clock already started? Guide: Madam, it is half past 7. Guest: Really? So late?

No.4: Guide: This early Christian late Roman cemetery was used from the 3rd century until the beginning of the 5th century. Tourist: Before or after Christ?

No.3: Visitor: Can I go back to the visitor centre to take some photos? Receptionist: We're closing in a minute or two. Visitor: It's not a problem. I need only five minutes.

No.2: Guide: Here you can see the Wine pitcher burial chamber (Korsós sírkamra). Gypsy tourist: Orsós? 

And the winner is: Tourist: How much is it? Receptionist: 1200 Ft for adults and 600 Ft for students, seniors and teachers. Tourist: I won't pay so much for using the toilet. Receptionist: It is not a public toilet it is a visitor centre. Tourist: Really
