At the end of the day, if they are not packing cotton up my ass, I call it a good one and get some rest because it will all start over again soon. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I had the honor of helping to prepare a corpse for burial recently, and we didnā€™t pack cotton in the rectum, but did use a tube-shaped large piece of cotton (kinda like a rounded sanitary napkin) between the cheeks of the buttocks; this, I was told, was to keep embalming fluid, or any other fluid, I suppose, from leaking out in an unseamly manner. ---
