Float Out Your Dead
By Wyatt Earp | February 25, 2012
Lord knows no one likes an unheated swimming pool, but with today’s rising fuel costs, some municipal pools cannot afford the costs involved.
Enter our brothers and sisters from across the pond. They are thinking outside the box; or in this case, outside the coffin.
Sir George Young, leader of the House of Commons, said the proposal to warm a Worcestershire leisure center with heat from a nearby crematorium was a “groundbreaking scheme.”
“The Government is aware of this particular scheme,” he said. “The Department for Energy and Climate Change will shortly be publishing its heat strategy and this will explore the potential for better recovery and reuse of wasted heat in schemes such as this one.”
He added that he would “die a happier man” if he knew heat from his cremation was warming the waters of a local pool.
Then he’d want to be cremated. Remember the days when you only had to worry about pee in the pool? Now you have to worry about ashes and chunks of bone.

Life imitates the Kentucky Fried Movie!
Okay, that’s a stretch, but you have to love the bit with the kid in the swimming pool.
A little bit ickier than having a Babe Ruth floating in the pool. lol
