two nevers

Dinner tonight with a mortician friend and his partner. “Everything is always death this, and funeral that… Could we not talk about dead bodies, please?” But I think it’s interesting. It’s not that I’m so interested in anal leakage or vacuuming out the thoracic cavity, but I do like a good story and what better than the end? One thing we learned is that you should never embalm a friend. Did that once and it was much harder than anticipated and gave him nightmares for weeks. Another thing we learned – Clay Aiken is having a baby with a good friend. Artificial insemination. So, never personally impregnate a friend either. Don’t get personally involved at the beginning or at the end, its simply too much entanglement.
