When I was a cub reporter back in the day, part of my job was to listen to the police scanner for potential reporting opportunities. One afternoon I heard 10-45 (deceased person) and decided to jump in the car and see what’s up. As it happened, the address was an old folks home, and having nothing better to do at the moment I went inside for a looksee in case it wasn’t just natural causes.
So, this old dude had expired. But the scene that greeted me was something I ill never forget. He had this long ass beard and hair like he hadn’t seen a barber in twenty years. And he died half on, half off his bed. Eyes wide open. And the rigor mortis had left him with a giant erection coming out of his pubes. It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
In the late 70s I was a construction inspector on new building in SF. One day during a lull I saw an old apparently homeless guy seated on the sidewalk, grippng and ripping. A guard from the building across the street came over to, um, rouse him but he couldn’t because the old guy keeled over dead.
OMG, this thread is turning into something akin to Reefer Madness.
