Thank goodness I married a patient man

On the television, a Dirty Jobs "coming up next" promo plays, showing clips of what goes on behind the scenes at Skulls Unlimited *. Dermestid beetles are cleaning a skull.

VBG:  Dude! Dermestid beetles! Cool!

MB:   *studiously eyes laptop screen, does not speak*

On the TV, Mike Rowe pulls a boiled-clean bison skull out of a vat of heinous-looking goo.

VBG:  OH MY GOD! SWEET! I am so glad I turned on this show tonight!

MB:  *leans closer to laptop screen*

VBG:  Honey, am I weird?

MB:  No.

VBG:  Are you lying?



* I find this excerpt from the Skulls Unlimited website absolutely hilarious:
"Skulls Unlimited is requesting your cooperation when shipping specimens to us for processing. It is important that these shipping instructions be followed, as all too often, parcels arrive at our facilities either smelling badly or leaking fluids. We are requesting that our clients ship all parcels via FedEx or U.S. mail. UPS can be used, but they have refused delivery of leaking and foul smelling packages."
