Respectful Runner Hocks Massive Loogie in Cemetery as Quietly as Possible
/A local man running through a cemetery yesterday morning expelled a large amount of phlegm, Dumb Runner has learned, but did so as quietly as possible out of respect for his surroundings.
The runner, identified as Clarence Oveur, 30, hocked what witnesses described as a “massive loogie” around 9 a.m. in Saint Peter’s Cemetery, a serene, wooded property with headstones dating to the 1800s.
“We heard him before we saw him,” said one source, referring to Oveur. “He was moving along at a pretty good clip.”
The source, who was placing flowers on his parents’ grave, said Oveur appeared to “snort, but really quietly,” before spitting out the results into some nearby weeds.
“The whole process took maybe three or four seconds,” said the source. “Then he looked at me, mouth the words, ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’ and he was gone.”
Reached for comment, Oveur told Dumb Runner he frequently runs through the cemetery and always strives to do so respectfully—especially when visitors are present.
“It bothers me to see fellow runners behaving in disrespectful ways,” he said. “Gives us all a bad name, you know?”
“That’s why I always try to be super courteous.”
