Frozen Dead People

Today's rhetorical question is brought to you by Nederland, Colorado mayor Jim Miller:

"What's the difference between storing frozen loved ones in your basement as opposed to incinerating loved ones and putting their ashes on your mantel?"

Well, for one, frozen loved ones take up more space. This is balanced by the fact that incinerated loved ones don't have that cool frosty blue look. Also, it is probably a little more emotionally traumatic if the dog gets into the frozen ones.

Interestingly, the comment was proffered "to send a message to French officials that they shouldn't be so uptight," a message worth sending under any circumstances that don't involve armpit hair.

I love the wit

"Anything that the town can do for any foreign frozen dead people under stiff circumstances, we certainly are open to trying to help"
