1. People can be such assholes!!
when my husband was killed in a chemical plant explosion at work, my lawyer at the time said that he found out one of the police officers at the scene was taking pictures of my husbands dead body, hoping to sell them to the lawyers for money (lawsuit)..
My lawyer, thank god, told him "hand over the pictures NOW or you will be sued Buddy!"
I guess that was when I learned that there are a LOT of sharks and assholes in this world..!

2. It could have been worse.
When John Lennon was shot in 1980, a worker in the morgue snapped a picture of Lennon's corpse and sold it to a tabloid.

Beatles can't get any peace, even in death.

4. I could see Paul or John saying yes, but George?
He wouldn't say crap if he had a mouthful.

Goerge was total anti-celebrity.
