- One of the FAQ stories involves some people picking up a rug from the
- garbage, bringing it home, and finding a body in it.
-
- I hate to use the phrase, but this one ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Yes, and I was
- (almost) there.
-
- In 1985 give or take a year, some college students from Carman Hall,
- Columbia College (NYC) pulled a rug out of a dumpster (quick side
- question: is dumpster a trademerk?) and brought it upstarirs. Yep, there
- was a body in it.
-
- Made quite a hit in the news at teh time, too.
-
- I was assigned to a different Emergency medical Service unit at the time,
- so didn't go on the call, but I certainly remember it going out, and we
- all kidded the crew who had the removal detail...
