anybody wants to get into the mortuary business?

one of the blokes at work has a line when he is fed up by having to pick up the phone - "city morgue here, you kill 'em we chill 'em"
that usually gives our clients a chuckle.

Funeral homes never bother me. I deal with bones and burials all the time. I just try to be respectful b/c it's easy to get detached and forget you're dealing with what was once a person just like you.

Now, I was bothered by the behavior of some of my wife's med school classmates during her first year gross anatomy lab. I recall her telling stories of bored students using their scalpels to play darts. Food for thought before you donate your body to "science."

daves66nova...that's quite a story you have there. Wow....

I've heard of that. It must be an Asian thing, because in Canada they even have to use afterburners to clean up the smoke. The only things that come out are water vapour, CO2, and.... mercury vapour from all the fillings.
