MEN!!!

“Men are so practical!” I looked up at my sister-in-law’s flabbergasted face, waiting to hear why she had uttered the remark in that particular tone. “I’m so glad I have a daughter and not a son,” she adds. Hmm… curioser and curioser, think I. “R’s mom passed away,” she says, “and they are donating her body to the medical college!!!”
Eeeks…
(R is chechi’s colleague and when his mother was admitted in the hospital with a stroke, chechi and another colleague [of the feminine gender] went to visit the family in the hospital. Only to find that the mother was in the ICU and her family—R, his brother and father—were at a hotel room. “What are you guys doing at the hospital?1?” was R’s comment when the ladies called to find out their whereabouts.)
So…
“Oh how nice,” remarked a family friend who is also a diagnostician. Then seeing the looks on our faces she adds, “I mean, they are giving away the body for dissection…”
Yewh…
It was the mother’s last will that her body should either be harvested for its organs or that it should be donated to the medical college. Since the organs have to be donated within two hours of the person’s death and that was not possible in this case, the body was donated.
“How can you wish for something like that?” was another remark that the body donation issue elicited. “How will the children be able to sleep in peace knowing that their mother’s body was lying in God knows what condition in some hospital somewhere?”
Erk…
Before handing over the body to those concerned, the father and the sons took the body for a drive in the ambulance. They took their mother to the places she had lived in in the city.
