When embalming a case that had a head "post" (autopsy), I used to offer funeral home directors my guarantee:
"If this head leaks, I will eat my shoe.”
In all my years, I never ate a shoe, but have licked many, many boots…that, of course, is a different story.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people ask me; since you inject fluid into the circulatory system, do men get an erection when you embalm them?
My standard reply was:
"Only if they found me attractive."
My late friend and fellow embalmer, Bill Carter was often questioned by the relatives of deceased clients if he did hair.Bill would always answer
"Honey, yes! I’m the one who put the 'boo" in “bouffant!"
