Desert dwellers are a different breed. You do not just drive up to a remote trailer.
Nope, the cause of the chimney fire is the same as the cause for any chimney fire. The idiots running the place didn’t clean the chimney between burnings. I would like to know how many bodies they have burned between cleanings of the chimney, I would bet it is substantial. While fat people might contribute to a dirty chimney more than thin ones, it doesn’t excuse the laziness on the part of the crematory people.
They could render these people into petrol.
My family has always (odd, I know) used funeral homes for such things.
A few years ago, one of my customers rented a shop that was just across the street from a “crematorium”...it was in what can only be described as a light commercial area. Anyway, prior to that, I had no idea that you could take a body from the hospital or hospice and just load it into the back seat of the car. That happened all the time over there...the old Ford Taurus would pull up, and they would unload “Grandma” onto a gurney in the parking lot.
Then there’s my in-laws. One of them didn’t want to pay for transport of a body (this one was at least embalmed in a coffin) from Arkansas to Iowa. So they loaded her up into the back of the pickup and drove up the Interstate...no covering over the back or anything. No report on “accidents caused”...LOL!
Grease fires are always the hardest to control.
LOL. Just how many 440 lb people are out there?
But then the unsuspecting Freeper clicks the link, and sees that the source is ... Der Spiegel!
I am reminded of that old joke about the Lufthansa 747 awaiting takeoff at JFK. There was a question about whether passenger Goldstein had made the flight. The captain replied he didn't know. The tower asked if they'd checked the ovens. The captain shut down the engines and demanded a written apology be delivered to the airplane before he'd move.
More than you might think. We have some friends that are a doctor and a nurse, and they tell plenty of stories of the morbidly obese at hospitals. Hospitals now have all sorts of special gear for handling them. Things like extra-strength beds, even little boom cranes for moving and shifting them around.
Signs of the times. Necessity is the mother of inventions.
When my mother died last year she was overweight and they charged extra for that.
If I die my request is that they just go and rent a mortar mixer, a bag of powdered aluminum and another of iron oxide.
Mix up some thermite. get a fire hot enough and you won’t have much left.
“Ich bin ein Berliner!”
I am surprised.
