Corpses Quote by Charly Wegelius
““I recognised a Swiss doctor whom I’d seen at a lot of races. I knew that she also worked in a mortuary. I remember I had tried chatting her up once by jovially saying, ‘I bet we’re all a bit like corpses, aren’t we?’ referring to our skeletal look – to which she had coolly replied, ‘Yes, but corpses don’t have so many needle marks.””
