CRONUT CUSTOMERS WAIT IN LINE NEXT TO DEAD BODY

New Yorkers were lined up for a Cronut at the famous Dominique Ansel Bakery last Friday morning. They didn’t seem to mind the corpse on the bench next to them. At least a dozen people stood in line next to the body, which was on a wooden sidewalk bench some 40 feet from the store. The dead man was a neighbor of the bakery, Andrew Lang, 47, whose death did not appear suspicious. He had been dead for about ten hours. One man in line bought it to the attention of a Dominique Ansel Bakery employee, who called 911. EMTs came and pronounced him dead. The cronut, a cross between a croissant and a doughnut — became a food craze in 2013. The confection is so popular, that the line outside the bakery is typically a half-block long.
* This is odd. Normally when you see a corpse in line it’s at the DMV.
* What’s cold is, several people called dibs on the dead guy’s place in line.
* Cronuts – I hear they’re to die for.
* Hey, last week we had a body in a restaurant bathroom for three days. We can handle this.
* I don’t know if there’s an afterlife but these Cronuts sure sound like heaven.
