Taking classes in mortuary science?

[Mike_Yates]

I was considering taking classes in mortuary science at my local community college.

Apparently the only requirement for a funeral director is an associates degree in mortuary science.

I also have relatives whom work in the funeral business.

I was considering putting your stupid ass on ignore.

Some of mortuary science involves college-level science along with business calculus.

It could transcend my intellectual comprehension.

Go for it.

By the way "business calculus" is a lot easier than Calc 101. It's more conceptual, less deep. And everything is applied to situations in the business world.

Ooooh, burrrrn.

Whatever, I was a music major. Fuggit! Do what you enjoy.

Mercury14, aren't you an MD? Or is that another litster?

Drop this idea. It's just another dead end job.

Every job's a dead end job that makes life less interesting... but most of us have them, and find solace in the fact that the other 128 hours of the week are interesting.

 

[ChinaBandit]

The other 128?

What's that like?

 

[Noor]

talk to your relatives in the business and see what they say.

Maybe I could embalm Susan Slaughter.

 

[sweepthefloor]

When I die just throw me in a hole in the ground, no box, no clothes. I would like red lipstick on, thanks.

My Death and Dying class took a field trip to a funeral home. It was pretty neat. We even got to see the embalming room.

No bodies, though. Bah.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Mike, you do know that outside Islamic countries laws against sex with dead bodies apply immediately. There is no six hour delay.

Mike ... what is "businees Calculus"?

 

[Colonel Hogan]

You were thinking maybe splooge was a preservative, right? Sorry, Mike. No go.

Also, I know you're a compassionate guy and all, but if you decide to open your own funeral parlor, I would steer clear of this kind of thematic art for the individual parlors in favor of something a little more "neutral."

I took Mortuary Sciences for 4 years. If you're actually serious, PM me.

Tell me about the "dying" part of your death and dying class.

"Are you ready to go?" the man asked as he glanced at the application form. Mike Yates nodded.

"So Mike, tell me. Why do you want to work here?"

Mike quickly went over the response that he had come up with the night before:
"Well, I've always been a great admirer of the sex industry" he would answer. "It's fair to say that it serves an important role in society bringing people together of all ages and persuasions. And most important of all it's a growing market that will always be on the rise."
This last remark was meant to be added as a quirky little joke to put them both at ease.
But somehow his prepared speech wouldn't formulate itself properly so instead he replied:

"I'm single, a virgin and desperate. I'm hoping to meet the woman of my dreams here. The kind of girl who likes kinky stuff; you know the type ... into PVC, bondage, handcuffs and cuts on the nipples."

The man opposite didn't say anything at first, he just sat there and looked at Mike as if he'd gone totally mad. Finally he spoke:

"So what makes you think that you'll find the woman of your dreams in a business that provides funeral services?"

That's when Mike realised that he'd gotten the two job interviews mixed up: funeral parlour in the morning - sex shop in the afternoon. But not wanting to leave a bad impression, he thought really fast (for him) and said:

"In grief I find that people often open up because of the tremendous vulnerability and overwhelming sadness that they are feeling in those moments of everlasting departure. Therefore it is my hope that I may bring some comfort and joy to a heartbroken widow."

"With handcuffs and cuts on the nipples?" the man asked.

"Yes," Mike replied.

He didn't get the job.

 

[Mike_Yates]

I want to embalm Susan Slaughter!

Hahahahahaha!! Great story...& could totally see that happening!

 

[Mike_Yates]

I can embalm Susan Slaughter and defile her corpse.

Mike couldn't read that off of a 3 x 5 card, much less come up with it on his own.
