work stories

What a good story!

My mum knows some folks who work at a mortuary and at this point in time, there was a double homicide. It's a rare occurance here in the sticks that something this bad happens. Normally it's just gang shootings outside the high school or some dumbass kid getting bit by a crazy dog.

It happened at a motel, one of those fleabags that make you cringe. Most of the news crews were on the scene. The juiciest part, though, was when the bags were taken out on the stretchers. So, here's my mom's friend, walking a body over to the vehicle, pushing the body bags over, and just smiling the goofiest smile he possibly could and waving to the camera.

It's very surreal, seeing something like that. You had to have been watching it, too. He looked like he was having the time of his life. I guess he enjoys his job.
