Anyway, here's something I'd like to put into a short story, if I ever decide I want to write one...
"Did you know the guy who pushed for embalming during the civil war was embalmed?"
"I don't know much about the civil war, other than battles and generals and Harriet Beecher Stowe and stuff like that, but it would be kinda weird if he wasn't."
"Actually, I find it quite ironic."
"What's so ironic about the guy who wanted people to be embalmbed being embalmed?"
"It's ironic because he was still alive."

Yes, I've been reading too much Stephen King lately.
