I saw an article where one man had his old femur cleaned up and polished then turned into a head for a cane. Good idea, make the traitorous bastard help out for a change.
Well, @Stilt, you brought it up. My bud who had worked at a funeral home once cremated an old guy who had had a hip replacement. As he was pouring the ashes into an urn (you never get ALL the ashes; you only get enough to fill the urn) he heard a CLUNK. It was the titanium ball end of a replacement hip joint. Buddy kept that ball end and planned to make a gearshift knob for his VW bus out of it. I don't know if he ever did...
Stay hip, Stilton!
ReplyDeleteWhen you come out of the anesthesia you'll be a woke hipster.
ReplyDeleteNext step, man bun.
Oh, THAT kind of bone broth!

ReplyDeleteSpousal Unit still needs dental work before they'll sign off on him being medically ready for his hip replacement.
ReplyDeleteI quite the like the idea of making the old hip joint into a head for a cane. I wonder what the rules are about taking such a souvenir home with me?
ReplyDeleteYou'll never know until you ask. I'm fairly sure it can be done, especially if you tell them you're not going home without it :)
