Got a Shovel?

This isn't a new expression, but it is something I have never repeated after this experience. One day, walking across the school campus, I saw a teaching colleague who never dressed up, sporting a very nice suit. My question, a classic one. "So are you going to a wedding or funeral, John?" The response...."a funeral, my father just died." I couldn't figure out how to dig a hole deep enough to crawl into, but the expression died right then for me.
