One day I was at a gas station near where I live, and I looked across the street, and there's a funeral home there, and I asked the question I've always asked myself, what do you do in there?
It caught me that day.
What do you do, and how do you do it?
I said, you know, I've always been interested in the Egyptians, which, by the way, the egyptian embalmers usually made one incision down the side.
And if you were an embalmer, and I'm your son, I'm an embalmer, my son becomes an embalmer, and it gets passed down.
But during the days of the Egyptians, if the embalmer made a mistake, do you know what the penalty was?
Death.
If you made that incision wrong, you died.
So, always had a fascination with that.
I was in the embalming room the following week, and I learned real quick what we do.
You're listening to love and radio.

It's so bad.
He's not poopy.
