Measure twice, cut your corpse once

[Batman]

South Carolina funeral home has its license suspended after sawing the legs off a 6-foot-7 corpse to make it fit in the casket. Naturally, the undertaker just chucked the legs in the coffin alongside the body. I suppose he hated to waste good legs.
Couldn't they just have gotten a bigger casket? Or cut out little foot holes in the end of it?

"Lt. Dan! You've got new legs!"

At least they didn't saw off the head ...

Geez, punish a man for having ingenuity.

I especially enjoyed the line about the "suspected truncation."

I thought the secret to this trick was that there are fake legs sticking out on the other end. The Amazing Kreskin this guy aint.

No.

They didn't eat the legs.
