It might seem the corpse was defaced,
But lets not get nuts with the haste.
This guy had expired.
His senses? Retired.
So he won't detect the poor taste.

I was wondering what the effect on the woman's speech would have been if she was still alive.

Total Glossectomy (new window) shows a man's attempts at speech over most of a year after his tongue was cut out. At first, it sounds like you would imagine but he actually learned to speak fairly well without it.

In case the site is fixed, here is the original headline:


Judge says it's OK that funeral home cut part of tongue (with DOCUMENT)


Geez - now THAT'S a paper cut.

Gene Simmon's tongue will have its own casket.

bwahahahaha. I don't think I'll fix that one.

"According to the findings in the report, the decedent's tongue swelled so much during the embalming process that it protruded from her mouth."

The funeral home should have just left it as is. That would have been pretty damn funny to see the family's reaction.

But they're still cracking down on an unsolicited finger...

Oh boy! A new death wish for me! I want an open casket for my funeral ONLY if my tongue is sticking out and I have open hands with my thumbs in my ears. Ooh! And Prince singing Raspberry Bury...

Wait, how did anyone find out that the tongue had been cut? Was one of the family members frenching the corpse one last time and noticed something was rotten?

When my mom goes, I'm going to request that they cut out her tongue. It's the only way to get her to shut up.

at least they didn't cram one of these in there to replace:

Inaditch: When my mom goes, I'm going to request that they cut out her tongue. It's the only way to get her to shut up.

I kind of like your mom's tongue.

See people this is why you don't get embalmed. Just put it down in your will to be immediately cremated and have a funeral service sans body. Yeah your ashes might get mixed up with a few other people and some animals too but it's better than being mangled and molested after death.

Also, no chance of being raised as a zombie.

Sobrrr: Oh boy! A new death wish for me! I want an open casket for my funeral ONLY if my tongue is sticking out and I have open hands with my thumbs in my ears. Ooh! And Prince singing Raspberry Bury...

You mean Raspberry Beret, right?

Jeebus, and my article about the people having sex in public in Australia didn't make today's cut...?

This is the only part worth reading:

"According to the findings in the report, the decedent's tongue swelled so much during the embalming process that it protruded from her mouth.

After a variety of techniques failed to rectify the problem, a supervisor authorized removal of about a quarter of an inch of the tongue.

This removal, the judge found, "is an accepted and customary embalming practice" that is specifically recognized in the industry as "a proper method of last resort in restoring a body to its natural appearance."

The tongue part was then placed into a biomedical waste container, which also is standard practice in the industry, Cleavinger wrote."

The preceding part was a cool story, bro.
