I had to leave for work at noon today, to attend a meeting. As I go out to my car, there are a couple of mortuary vans, and the local coroner parked near my car. Turns out a neighbor in another apartment died, and they were removing the body (don't send condolences, I've no idea who it was under the sheet). As the two workers were rolling the stretcher to the van nearest my car, I kept seeing them gawk at my car, while I had the door open. I said "Hi" to both of them, as they were opening up the van (I also discovered that you will get the most uncomfortable looks when ask someone how their day is going, if they happen to be moving a dead body). As he opened the side door on the van, he asked me if that was my car. I said yes, and asked them if they wanted to take a look at it, and got an estatic "Hey, yeah!" from the both of them. The first guy got the first part of the stretcher into the van, and then ran over to my car, leaving the other one there to push the gurney by himself. Keep in mind, this is on an incline. The second guy was gentle, but certainly hurried up the loading of the body into the van, so that he too could come over and take a look. And all while rubber-necking! The Coroner then came out, and said, "Hey, look!", and was pointing at my car, while she spoke to her asistant. In their hurry, they left the van door open. So it was quite an odd experience of giving a tour of my car to people, while several sheet covered corpses were visible, only a few feet away. -Robert vin 6585 "X" To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
