But, obviously, we didn't have to experience the nasty stuff first hand.
A paramedic friend of mine told us about a suicide (at home) where they'd been called about 3 days after the guy had killed himself - one of those "I've not seen my neighbour for a while" concerned phone calls, police then ambulance.
The guy's cat had subsequently eaten most of his face.
She said she'd seen a few like that. People who'd been dead for long enough that things had started to eat them.
Circa 1981 or 2 me and a mate went to one of the first "Monster of Rock" festivals at Donington. Whilst we were pitching our tents, a fella wandered over and said "are you two squaddies"? The short hair in a sea of long greasy locks was obviously a bit of a giveaway. "Want some security work? You'll get backstage passes and free beer"! We said yes and were given hi viz and torches and made to wander around a bit of the campsite. It was shit and the whole backstage pass bit which had swung it for us was clearly bullshit.
Just as it was getting dark, a group of about 10 or 12 patched "one percenter" bikers, were getting pissed/stoned and lairy and were setting about some trees with large axes to get firewood for a fairly impressive bonfire. Matey who had recruited us, rocked up in his landrover, pointed at the bikers and said "go over there and get them to stop that". "No f***ing chance"! Was our reply and we ditched the hi viz and torches there and then. Then went on the lash having dodged a bullet (or axe)!
My Dad was on duty for the Fire Brigade in Dumfries on the night of the Lockerbie disaster. After the fires were extinguished, he was one of the people going round putting the little flags to mark the body parts mentioned above. Unsurprisingly he doesn't talk about it much.
That's worse than retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's bum.
Could be worse.
You could have spent money to go listen to that talentless gash.
I'm old enough to have had a Saturday job at a butcher's shop that had it's own mini abbatoir round the back. Cattle would arrive by lorry and be sent (forcibly, when the first few had gone through the rest would sense what was happening and panic) through the whole process. I lasted a day and have been veggie since
