    Jobs You Wouldn’t Want

    If desperate would you take any job? I couldn’t be an undertaker! Imagine dressing the person - putting on a bit of lippy - putting them in the box! What if one of the arms or legs didn’t fit in? Would you want to be the last person in the gaff to lock up?

    I think I would rather join the queue with my P45 or work for Dynorod!

    My son has an interview for a slaughterhouse job on Friday.

    One of my staff left to become an undertaker, that probably says a lot more about me than it does about him!

    My brother started work at Horace Cope undertakers as a coffin maker in the early 80’s.

    One day when he went into a back room it was in darkness and he fell over something when he entered the room.

    As his eyes became accustomed to the dark he realised he was entangled with the corpse of an old lady, apparently it was a prank they played on the new lads.

    He said that he had to find another career after seeing a beautiful 18 year old girl lying on the slab who’d been smashed up in a car crash.

    Personally, I couldn’t be a cesspit cleaner, last summer when they came to suck our s h I t out the stench was unbearable.

    My job does involve putting corpses into body bags as well, which can have it's lighter moments.
    Only last month we had an old lady that had rigamortus set in very quickly.
    Once in the body bag.....it did look like she had a large e r e c t i o n......😇
    We couldn't straighten her left knee so she went in the bag at a 45% angle.
    Even the most serious among couldn't help but smile. Thankfully her family had been and gone...in paying last respects.
    I don't think there is a job I wouldn't try.

    Reminds me of an incident when I was working as an auxiliary at a local "cottage " hospital. One of our old fellas had passed (a truly nice man who had served in the Great War) but he had really bad arthritis and his knees were bent right up so that we could not fit him in the wheeled metal "meat wagon" coffin used to transport the bodies from the wards to the morgue. We had to balance him on top of it and drape a sheet over him! Then had to call someone who could effectively break his knees to fit him in the freezer. Hardly the respectful treatment he deserved ! Working in that sort of environment at a youngish age gave me a better perspective on life though.
