Problems at the crematorium

Another sign of the times! Last week fire broke out in the Hillside Chapel Crematorium in Cincinnati. Why should this be a point of interest? Because this is an increasing occurrence in crematoriums both in America and in Europe. 
The problem is with the new super-size bodies that the undertakers are having to deal with these days.
In Austria, a whole crematorium went up in flames because the excess fat and grease from the carcass clogged the vents. In Cincinnati the burning fat from a 500lb body over rode the thermostat on the pyre with the same result.
Think about it. The plague of obesity that has overtaken the Western world affects EVERYBODY.
Larger seats on airlines:higher fares all round.
Joint replacements for overstressed legs and ankles:higher premiums for everybody else.
Larger doors on public buildings: increased taxes on the general public.
Now super-fat corpses setting the crematoriums on fire: extra insurance costs, all passed on to the customer.
The list of the extras is endless.
Next time you are about to eat your sixth do-nut or swig back a jumbo size soda please think about the consequences, not only for your own health but the danger to the rest of us as we say our farewells in the Chapel of Repose!
Jubilate
