[MARTIAL MONK]

I used to live near a retirement community. The inhabitants would kick-off in the most inconvenient places and at the most inconvenient times. The groceries had to establish protocol regarding expired customers in their stores. It was a requirement that an aisle be blocked from both ends lest the less demanding of the clientele pummel the cadaver in their morning shopping. That raised a good amount of ire when the geriatric set couldn’t get to where they was wantin’ to go. A stiff on the floor was not an impediment to a good sale on prune juice.

Restrooms had to be checked nightly to be sure that no one had passed as they passed. Any stall door that remained closed too long was suspect and more than one geezer was interrupted in their struggles by well meaning welfare checks. Had to get ‘em before rigor mortis set in in that position and a special casket required. The strain of their last mortal act sent them to the pearly gates in droves. Cause of death: cheese.

On large (2K+ people) cruise ships it is not a rare occasion that someone’s body needs to be put in an empty freezer until the ship returns to it’s home port.
