Rose--I could use a trim. Do I have to die first? :lol:

those morques are scary places . I wouldn' work there unless they paid me big money. I dont like the whole fact of working with dead folks.

Rose, many long years ago I was a beauty operator, I think they're referred to as cosmotologists now. On more than one occasion I was asked to style the hair of someone who's mother, or grandmother, or whomever, died. I woosed out every time...I just couldn't do it. I've always been a touch disappointed in myself for that. I'm so glad there are folks that do that.

Now, as to what happened to you and the other guy at the morgue...yup...that's a hoot! :lol:

My son has been working in a funeral home in Amarillo as part of his school work to become a mortician. He calles several times a week with the most interesting facts. None of it seems to bother him. He seems to like the people he works with and he sounds really happy. I can see the rich possibilities for practical jokes, though!

as the baby boomers get older and since theres lots of them, the funeral business would be a good one to be in....

Rose, I also had a shop in a nursing home. Much more satisfaction to it, but it got to a point that my back was screaming "please, no more!" And, since I wasn't even 30 years old, and already had slipped a disc, I decided it was time for a career change.

I still remember those old people, tho. They had stories to tell (one woman used to run moonshine and one woman had been a NY fashion model...oh just all kinds of things), and they did so enjoy telling those stories, and talking to someone about what they'd heard on the news, or the latest gossip. I discovered that not all nursing home residents cared to be called honey, sweetie, darlin', and talked to like they were deaf and senile. Yeah, it was really rewarding.
