A Mississippi man woke up in a body bag as funeral home workers prepared to embalm him, ABC affiliate WAPT reported.

I bet he scared the sh*t out of them. :D :p

Trivia...."Saved by the Bell" comes from pre embalming days.
In the 'day' some exhumed bodies/caskets showed finger scratching on the inner lid.
When folks died of unexplained reasons they'd hook a string in the casket to the 'outside' so you could ring a bell if you woke up (coma)...it saved some from being buried alive ergo the saying.

I bet some poor guy at the funeral home messed his pants. I know I would have.
