A good way to know if it's been a bad night at work and the new girl isn't working out too well ...

There wer ONLY two things that kept me from pithing her with the torqdriver, setting her up on the conveyor belt and senting her throught the heat shrinker.

1.) It would have halted production.

2.) That ... smell. The smell that one can only experience if they've been in the presence of burning bodies.

Ah, yes, but according to a book about crime scene investigator training I recently skimmed through, the smell of a burnt corpse smells disturbingly like a tasty barbecue.

They don't call it "long pig" for nothing...

see, i would have expected at least a brief burst of burning hair...

Burnt corpse may... But a burning body... not so much.

Burnt, as in flames are out and the hair, etc etc etc are gone and all that's left is the flesh, meat and bone. Yeah, maybe. Though honestly, they add that line to make people queasier than they already are.

Unless of course the inner temperature and gastric FUN that is the digestive/elimination system decides to erupt as the body starts cooling and/or is jostled just right and ruptures. Super-heated bowel gas and exploded intestines, not a good aroma.

BURNING, as in still engulfed in flame or hot enough for the hairs to catch fire ... totally different story. Ever smelled burning hair?

Ah yes...I was just mentioning the burnt crispy end product.
Burning hair...smelled it, yep. burnt some on purpose, too (no comment...lets say I was an evil teenager and leave it at that).

Now we keep having to remind you... you have to train them before they can handle the real fun stuff...

*silly puss*
