Co., Everett, Wash Lines: 85 This is pretty old, and may be disgusting, but I really don't think it's bad enough to require rotation, *HOWEVER* ==================== This joke may be offensive to morticians and dead people. ==================== Two morticians alternated in sharing the responsibility of covering the night shift. One early morning about 3:00 am, a body was brought into the mortuary, and the mortician began work. When he had unclothed the corpse, he noticed a cork in the anus. Removing it, the strains of "Hello, Dolly, well, hello, Dolly...!" were plainly heard being sung. He put the cork back, and the singing stopped. Pulling it out again, the same song started, "You're lookin' swell, Dolly!". Amazed, he telephoned his partner, and insisted he come immediately to see something very unusual. Roused from sleep, the partner asked if it could wait till morning. But he was persistent, and finally the partner agreed to dress and come down to the shop. When he got there, he said, "Now what was it that was so important you had to get me out of bed at this ungodly hour?" The partner said, "Come into the embalming room." They go into the embalming room, and the first partner says, "Now watch." He pulls out the cork, and the anus takes off singing again. The partner looks at him disgustedly and says: (You ready for this?) "You brought me down here at 3 in the morning to hear some asshole sing Hello Dolly"? Gary Benson !fluke!tpvax!inc
