Fresno Morgue: Worms Crawl In, But Don't Crawl Out

FRESNO (AP) ―
The Fresno County coroner says maggots are in the walls and flooring on the morgue and drop from the ceiling as his colleagues work.

Coroner David Hadden called the media for a tour Wednesday to show what he described as "intolerable" working conditions.

He said the deteriorating WWII-era morgue is a perfect breeding ground for flies and their offspring. It's in one of the hottest counties in the state and lacks air conditioning.

Supervisor Judy Case said she's aware of the problems and pledges something will be done. She said she did not want to approve finances before Tuesday's election to see what money Fresno has available.

3. Perhaps he should contact Rimjob

over at FR..with all the tax free dough he rakes in quarterly as "donations" from the FReepathons, he could certainly help them get the maggots out of there.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

5. I think they've moved on to Texas Hold 'Em

Pinochle's so last century for worms.

10. Just set up a little table, and deal.

6. The Fresno area has super high unemployment right now,

I saw on a chart.

Maybe the county is especially strapped for cash.

7. They aren't really worms. They are larva.

Thought I'd point that out.
