5:54 p.m. Tonight I was outside the ME van practicing loading bodies when the Chief ME, we'll call her Dr. Frank, left the building to take off for the day. She walked over, stopped dead in her tracks, stared us both down and said, "Well, today sucked ass. I'm going to the gym to work out my legs. See you girls later."
It took all of my self-control not to burst out laughing.
Working here is going to be fun.
Except for the maggots.

Yeah, I have to deal with maggots, too.
I'm guessin' we're talking about different types, tho.
My maggots are much more lovable, Sly.
And they make you want Chinese for lunch.
"practicing loading bodies"....now there's a phrase you don't hear every day.
Have you practiced your scales today?
Awww, Mom!
*******
Have you practiced your backflips today?
Awwww, Mom!

Have you practiced loading bodies today? And by the way, have you seen your father?
ummmmmm, yeah.
Polly,
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Make you want Chinese? That's friggin' fantastic on so many levels.
PollyPI's blog...proof that even maggots can be fun!
Sounds like you have a boss worthy of you for once, Polly.
And I agree with Sly about the "practice loading bodies" line - a classic!
we'll call her Dr. Frank
Francis, perhaps?
Hmmm.... she can deal with maggots, but spiders freak her out!
Guess we all have our freak zones.
this is off-topic, but i just saw an ad for a new tv show on court tv--parco p.i. thought you might like to know. although i think your show would be WAY more interesting!
and i also agree that the "practicing loading bodies" is right up there with, "hey! remember when i spilled that cup of pee in your car?"
:o)
Don't waste those maggots. They make great bait for fishing.
Dr. Frank as in Dr. Frank N. Stein?
Very good, Sarcasmo!
It was two-fold... playing on Dr. Frankenstein and on the fact that she is very "frank" in her nature.
A Polly P. I. book would be special if you let the reader see things through your eyes, not through thier suggestions. Writing a blog you only have to capute the attention of a friendly audience for 90 seconds. Polly P.I. will have to have substance not cutness and quick innuendoes. If there is a lot of death you better distinguish between each death so a reader just doesn't dismiss it as okay here is another dead body story.
Most importantly, sepate your personality from your story. Your blog readers like your blog because they like you. Write a story that will stand on its own. At first no one is going to know or care who Polly is. And if you keep asking people what kind of book you should write then you will poduce a book that is all over the board. Produce a book that is in your heart. Produce a book that will say everything you have held back. Produce a book that will tell you things about yourself you did not know. Picture the book you want to write in your minf right now and just go. You know the book you want to write so write it now. No more excuses.

Thanks, Johnny....now I have that song stuck in my head.
