I'm guessing the dead bloke's didn't start out too well?

I deleted my reply as I just wasnt quick enough

[tamore]

having seen him up close, i suspect he didn't know much about 26th august 2010.

Not the best of the days then.

Yes, I've found someone dead years ago, never pleasant.

I imagine the bloke who had to fish him out has had better days too.

well the blokes in dry suits laughing and joking with each other while the forensic photographer was doing his job didn't seem to phased.

You never know how many times they've stared into dead peoples faces before today. Not something I'd want to do very often.

To be honest, it's probably their way of dealing with the situation and getting on with the job at hand ...

Black humour is rife in all such professions. I know a load of paramedics and they laugh at anything and everything.

I stepped on a plug this morning. Do I win?

I would have said gallows humour, but black humour is just as apt

to be honest, that would have pissed me off a lot more! i wasn't phased by it (if you'll pardon the pun)

I guess the shock value wears off when you deal with that sort of thing every day. Probably quite an interesting profession in a morbid sort of a way.

BTW, it's fazed rather than phased.

it was a pretty tenuous pun. stepping on plug - electricity - phased. i did say pardon the pun!

but thanks for calling round to check everything's ok grammar police!

Were you wearing socks? It always hurts more with socks

Does sound like a reasonably regular weekend morning for me. Notably, being called in one Sunday. 0800-in bed. 0845- On riverbank with bloated corpse.

I've had better weekend mornings.

My sister woke up one morning a few years ago to a burnt-out car in the car park across the road from her house with a woman still in it.

Suicide will always be grim, but in the car park of the kids playground doubley so.

Did you get the timings the right way round chap?

I think we've all been there.
