| Dead Heats
As exciting as the Olympics were, we’d
rather watch the Stiffs, a 13-person relay team from the West Los Angeles
Veterans Affairs Medical Center. A Group including autopsy technicians,
pathologists and brain specimen lab personnel, the Stiffs show up at meets
with an ice chest that resembles a coffin, uniforms that bear the number
187 (the state police code for homicide) and a femur instead of a baton.
Presumably, they don’t want to finish dead last. |
