One of the terms they used was "Execution Technician". ETs! What a nice euphemism! Sounds more professional and innocuous than Executioner (ala "Sanitary Engineer"). Any suggestions for nicer (nice in its classical meaning) euphemisms? How about Thanatician? -- Joe Presley (...!mhuxj!presley, harpo!presley)
