Picture Framer Refuses To Frame Umbilical Cord In Shape Of A Heart

[matcom]

<snip>

EAST BAY - Bill McKay said OK to the cow and moose turds, but even he has his limits. When asked about the most unusual item he was asked to frame, the owner of Fast Picture Framing in Portsmouth didn't hesitate.

"How about the grossest?" he asked, slightly, er, reframing the question. "That would be an umbilical cord that was dried in the shape of a heart. They were sent packing, by the way. I wouldn't touch the thing. We don't frame body parts here."

Perhaps the proud parents would have had better luck had they traipsed over to Gary Wilson's East Bay Picture Framing in Warren.

"Oh, I'd do it. Absolutely!" Mr. Wilson said when told of the umbilical cord request. "I don't care what it is. Your ex-wife's ear? I'd do it. I'd wear gloves, but I'd do it. I'd get the dry heaves, but I'd do it. Capitalism, buddy!"

Whenever we have a significant life event — a family trip, a graduation, a wedding — we feel a need to have it preserved forever, either for our aging selves or for future generations. Photographs are the old standby. But local framers, who have seen everything come across their desks — from pacifiers to guns — can tell you there's more than one way to freeze-dry a memory.

Framing: It isn't just for pictures anymore.
