Ba-dum-chi.
NICE.
First LOL of the day. Thanks, Dr G.
LOL!
I wonder if she gets referrals...
Is that the only joke they teach in mortuary school. And is Mortuary Science really a science ?
Dr Grumpy, what was your reaction?
Wah-waaaaah!
As long as she didn't say she sees a lot of YOUR patients, it's OK.
Sounds like you two should get on fine :)
I work in both clinical trials for onc and on a heme/onc floor and...yeah.
But at least we aspire to provide a good death, as opposed to grandma up in the ICU who's had a tube in every orifice and coded, like, six times in the last ten years but she's going to be better and nexto new next week!!
Don't knock morticians. They have a very honorable job. Even if the practice in a meatlocker.
Pine as in the pine box Orthdox Jews are burried in? As a Jewish person, who is not, Orthodox I have family that is. The very first experience I had with them was at the funeral of my great aunt (my grandfather's eldest sister--he was the only boy too). So, I told him to sit up front with his faily and I would go sit in back with some of the other cousins (2nd and 3rd). The pine box freaked him out but I thought he was okay (he was sharp nothing wrong with the brain) but just to be sure I made sure I had him sitting on the correct side of the sanctuary. All of a sudden there was a lot of whispering, pointing, giggling and some pure disgust. Everyone wanted to know who that man was sitting up front on the wrong side? I just smiled, bowed me head, and said, "That would be her (the deceased) brother, my grandfather! I don't know who was more embarassed? Me or the people who were offenisve finding out that he belonged to me? LOL!
Hmmmmm. I suppose with Dr Pine's specialty it is not TOO surprising but still...
Some of the funniest people I know are funeral directors.
bwahahaha
Funeral directors Funny?
You have to have a sense of humor to charge people 13K to drop their bodies into a hole in the ground.
Direct Cremation is the only way to go. Save the money for the celebration of life party.
Brilliant .
"Ah Yes...moving on"....and are here today why, Lisa?...LOL
Brilliant. :)
