His first job was for the funeral home, doing body pickups. It was not too bad going to hospitals or nursing homes as the bodies were on a gurney, in a body bag or wrapped up. The bad part of the job was body removal from folks that died at home, and were not found for weeks. One lady committed suicide with a shotgun, while sitting in the bath tub. He and a helper had to put on hazmat suits and try to lift the obese lady out of the tub. When the legs came off in his hands at the lady's knees he puked in his suit, walked out of the house and quit on the spot. He walked home.

I wouldn't do it either, but that's a pretty funny story.
