A Truckload of bodies

The Kadizzles made a pilgrimage to the Denver History Museum.  On the way back to the train station we took the free bus.  In the course of the bus trip Kadizzle engaged a man in conversation. The man said he had been a truck driver.  Kadizzle asked the fellow what he hauled to which he replied cadavers. Kadizzle asked the man what the name of his company was.  Kadizzle suggested the name might be "Cadaver you want to go".  The fellow claimed that once he was stopped at a truck scale and they asked to check his cargo. According to him two bodies fell out and frightened the officer so badly he had to go to the hospital.  The fellow claimed he went cross country picking up bodies and took them to some medical school in California.  When Kadizzle inquired how many bodies he hauled he said up to 20,000.  He made it sound as if that was one truck load. Maybe he meant altogether.  If it was in one load they must have been ground up and dehydrated.

During the conversation Kadizzle asked why the truck driver quit driving. According to him it was because he had a heart attack while driving. Now, imagine a truck wreck that kills the driver hauling a trailer load of bodies.  The news report would have no idea how many were killed in the wreck. It might have set a record.  If he had two hundred bodies on board that would have been a lot of dead people found at the wreck site.
