Obese Indiana Woman's Body Taken From Home in Flatbed Truck
Fox ^

Posted on 05/22/2009 11:25:24 PM PDT by Chet 99

As if the death of a family member weren't heart-wrenching enough, relatives of an obese Indiana woman were outraged Tuesday over the way the county coroner handled her death.

Hours after the death of 48-year-old Teresa Smith, who weighed over 750 pounds, a flatbed truck was sent to her apartment to retrieve the body, FOX affiliate WXIN-TV reported. The Marion County deputy coroner told the station that it was their only option because of her weight.

Zactly.

I have a question if I may...

Will the paulbearers be current or former bodybuilder/NFL/wrestler types, or will the family themselves carry the body..

Just sayin...

Appearantly, she will be cremated, a private service will be held, and the ashes will be scattered at the local Golden Corral.

The relatives weren’t outraged by her monstrous size or obvious health problems, only by how her corpse was transported after she died no doubt from complications due to her extreme obesity. So much for priorities.

Sorry, but I just couldn’t help myself.....

Three nights ago I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump, I was rarin’ to go
And this big fat woman, bumped me on the floor
She was rarin’ to go, that chick was rarin’ to go
Then she did a dip, almost broke my hip
She was gettin’ down, that chick was gettin’ down
She wanted to bump some more, but I told her, “no!”
You done knocked me down once
You done knocked me down once
Said if you want to dance find you a big fat man
Y’all both can get on down, y’all both can get on down
Huh!

Chorus:

I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
Lord, I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

Somebody take her
She’s too big for me
She’ll knock me down

She came over to me, snatched me out of my seat
She wanted to get on down, still wanted to get on down
I told her to go on and leave me alone
I ain’t gettin’ down
You done hurt my hip once
I know what you’ll do
I ain’t gonna bump with you!
I don’t feel like gettin’ down
Don’t feel like gettin’ down
She just shook her head at every word I said
She wanted to get on down
That woman wanted to get on down
She did that dip again and I hit the floor again
She was gettin’ down, Lord, that woman was gettin’ down

(Chorus)

Somebody take her, I don’t want her
She done hurt my hip, she done knocked me down
Done hurt my hip, she done knocked me down
Somebody take her, I don’t want her
Say Leroy! You can have this one dude
This big fat woman, dude
I don’t want her

On The HBO series “First and Ten”, Bubba an over weight
offense guard had to be weighed ever week.
The coach said “Bubba, these scales only go to 350 pounds
and that is about where humans leave off and live stock
begins”.
Bubba’s teammates said “MOO”.
