I just signed for some embalming fluid!
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 03:53 PM by Cuban_Liberal
One of our friends runs a funeral home just down the block, and we each have instructed UPS, FedEx, et al, to deliver packages to the 'alternate' address if we can't sign for them. Any way, Jerrold had a church funeral this afternoon, so the UPS guy just brought in four cases of various embalming chemicals, because Jerrold wasn't there to sign for the delivery.

Hope my customers don't get too spooked.

;)

5. There's an idea!
Sounds better than 'cavity chemical', whatever that is.

:P

4. Once I had to sign for a delivery of frozen bull semen.

EWWW! It came in a metal container packed in dry ice. I had to wait around at the front desk (the secretary was at lunch)for the delivery guy to deliver it to the front office. My (former) boss was involved in breeding beef cattle.

7. Well I'll just tell just exactly how they do it:
You need an appropriate receptacle and an electric cattle prod which is then shoved into the poor beast's butt. One good zap and voila! This is what I was told by the cattle breeder.

13. I would hate to be the one that had to remove the semen from the Bull
:scared: It must be a real tricky job and you would kind of have to have the timing down or you might get hurt :puke:

Ugh Milk is pasteurized right? :scared:

11. I delivered a pair of human eyes once
Also, several kidneys and a couple of dozen gallons of blood over the years. Don't even get me started on the stool samples that had to go from the nursing home to the lab...

Life of a taxi driver is always intense...
