Red Cross questions

Please tell me why a funeral director needs to know CPR. Aren't most of their patrons...ummm...beyond that?

By the way, does anyone know if cheese floats? If so, it'd be useful in a disaster supplies kit for its entertainment value and you can eat pickles while you watch it float by.

(That's what I get for helping with a health and safety mass mailing and giving a rather wild flood safety presentation today.)

It just struck me as very odd at first, and in the time it took to fold and tape several hundred letters I had lots of time for the absurdity to sink in.

I know, I know, in the end it really does make sense. The vast majority of the people they work with might be in need of such services.

Yeah...at first it does sound weird. But then again, the average funeral director probably sees a lot of people in somewhat frail physical condition.
