Instead I went down to the casket display room in the basement of the mortuary and selected shirt, pants, belt and shoes from the clothes used to dress a corpse.
I took a quarter from the petty cash and walked a block to the Hawk Tavern and had a 15c glass of beer.
There was a problem. All shirts and suit coats used to dress a body are slit down the back to ease the dressing of a stiff. I kept my backside toward the wall and sat in the corner as I had a slit down the back of my shirt.
In about 10 minutes I returned to my apartment and was greeted warmly by a worried wife.
