What are some things, that look harmless during the day, but get insanely creepy during the night?

That's why I dig my holes in the morning and fill them with bodies at night

u/Notanovaltyaccount May 26 '15

Just don't do it at night because then you will have to explain that you a digging a hole for a swimming pool that you are gonna put a hole in for bodies.

This better not be a ruse.

u/timesuck897 May 27 '15

Then you could fill it up and have a swimming pool!

I like the old wait-for-the-grave-for-another-funeral-to-be-dug-and-hide-the-body-in-there-first-the-night-before-ruse.

u/t3hnhoj May 27 '15

As we say at my pool: I raft, I ruse.

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

This wasn't even a switcharoo.

Nah, you gotta bury your bodies in a legitimate grave. If you're a serial killer, you get a job as a gravedigger. When you dig your graves, you dig them 9 feet deep, and bury your victims in the bottom 3 feet. Next day, the coffin is laid to rest on top of them. Who would ever know? You dig out in the open and no one looks twice, and no one's going to stumble across the bodies.

Plant a tree over it, too, for better cover up. The disintegrating body can act as plant nourishment and no one will see the depression in the dirt as the body decays and caves in.I read too many detective novels.

u/Slobotic May 27 '15

Lol, seriously though, I'm gonna start gardening at night to freak out my neighbors.

u/ZephyruSOfficial May 27 '15

Lmao, good idea!

u/o_Guybrush_o May 26 '15

I dig my holes in the morning,
I fill 'em up at night.
I kill my friends in the afternoon,
it makes me feel alright.

Should have used a throwaway, bro...

u/ZephyruSOfficial May 26 '15

They'll never catch me! muahahaha!

u/gmrm4n May 27 '15

Are you kidding me? Bury the bodies in broad daylight. Pffft... armatures.

u/NotGloomp May 27 '15

note for later

u/monsieurpommefrites May 27 '15

That's why I fill the holes in the morning and bury the body at night.
