5. One Medical Examiner I took a class with
referred to them as 'Crispy Critters.'


Some people just can't hold their 'Supernatural Powers.'

6. Was an idiot a few years ago here in Austin
Tried to steal the power transformer at a substation. They literally had to identify the body through DNA.

9. Yeah - that happened here a few years back. The widow tried to sue
the power company for not fencing off the high voltage lines.

7. I've been so fried I had to look at my ID to remember who I was.
But I've NEVER been on anything that made me want to climb a power pole.
