>He went out about 3 am and sat in his driveway to watch the shooting
>stars. When he got cold (and we all did) he took out his mummy style
>sleeping bag and crawled in. You know what happened next. He fell
>asleep about 3:30 and missed the best part of the show. However, about
>6 am the paper delivery man came by and found what looked like a dead
>body in a body bag stretched out on the driveway next to a parked police
>car (did I mention that the boy's father is a police officer?).
>
>The paper man wanted to call 911 but did not have a phone so he alerted
>6 neighbors along the street (remember it is about 6 am on Sunday) and
>they all rushed to check out the body bag which had an arm and hair
>sticking out of one end. With 7 people now surrounding the "crime
>scene," the paper man found a stick and finally poked the body. My
>student woke up and said "What the heck are you doing?" at which point
>the paper man was reported to have become somewhat airborne in his
>efforts to back up in startled amazement.
>
>I asked my student for permission to recount this story to you all and
>he agreed. It was the best meteor show I have ever seen and at least
>one student will never forget it either.
