Years ago, different lifetime, I worked on the line crew at the local airport. Once a week or so, a body would be moved to or from the airport, usually using a Cherokee Six. But towards the end of my stint on the line crew, a "budget" body mover started making the rounds, transporting folks in a two seat Cherokee 140. He derived great pleasure in spooking the new line crew members by "introducing" his friend to them when they met the aircraft. "Here's my friend Bob - he's not feeling very well".. . It was a bit of an event getting the "stiff" from the Cherokees seat into the hearse/station wagon, because the body did take a set on the trip and had to be straightened out.
