Life as an undertaker is far from ordinary, and for Bob, one particularly bizarre day turned into a comedic tale that left him with a black eye—and a story to tell for years.
It all began on a seemingly routine afternoon when Bob received a call for assistance at a hotel. A guest had passed away peacefully in his sleep, and the hotel management requested Bob to handle the situation. However, what should have been a straightforward task quickly spiraled into unexpected chaos.
The Unusual Situation
When Bob arrived at the hotel, the manager greeted him with an embarrassed expression. “We’ve encountered a problem,” the manager explained. “The deceased guest can’t be placed into a body bag because of, well, a rather unexpected issue.”
Bob furrowed his brow. He had seen many odd situations in his line of work, but he wasn’t prepared for what awaited him in the hotel room.
As Bob entered the room, he was greeted by the sight of a large, deceased man lying on the bed, completely unclothed. The problem was immediately evident—the man had died with an unrelenting, conspicuous erection.
Taking Matters Into His Own Hands
Bob, ever the professional, decided to tackle the problem head-on. He figured the best course of action was to bend the problematic appendage in half, allowing the body to fit into the bag. With both hands, he grasped the man’s rigid post-mortem anatomy and began to apply pressure, trying to fold it downward.
As strange and uncomfortable as the task was, Bob was focused on his duty and determined to resolve the issue quickly. What he didn’t know, however, was that he had made a critical error—he was in the wrong room.
The Surprising Twist
Suddenly, Bob heard a loud yell, and before he could process what was happening, he felt a sharp punch to his face. Disoriented and clutching his rapidly swelling eye, he turned to see a very alive and very angry man sitting upright on the bed, shouting expletives.
It turned out that Bob had accidentally entered the wrong hotel room. Instead of handling the deceased guest, he had mistakenly tried to wrestle the private parts of a completely conscious guest who had been sleeping soundly.
Explaining the Situation
When Bob returned home that evening, sporting a black eye and a sheepish expression, his wife immediately noticed his injury.
“What on earth happened to you?” she asked, concerned.
Bob sighed and recounted the day’s events. “I had to go to a hotel where a guest had died in his sleep. The manager said they couldn’t get him into the body bag because of a huge, uh… problem. So, I went up and, sure enough, found a big naked man on the bed with a very noticeable issue. I grabbed it with both hands and tried to bend it in half.”
Bob’s wife nodded, trying to process the absurdity of the story. “That does sound terrible,” she said sympathetically. “But how did you end up with the black eye?”
Bob paused, then replied with a wry grin, “Wrong room.”
A Tale to Remember
The incident, while embarrassing, became one of those unforgettable moments that Bob would laugh about for years to come. It served as a reminder to double-check the room number before attempting anything—especially in such delicate circumstances.
