My son’s leg bone is connected to his jaw bone...well, the half of his jaw bone that UCLA didn’t keep, anyway.
At least she quit hogging the remote.
That's always much more common than live skeletons!
But I could be wrong. I never lived in Ohio...

Sounds like you have a bone to pick with the writer!
I don't know, but this was in a warm climate, so I presume there were plenty of flies, maggots, and other creepy-crawlies to hasten the process.
