Pizza! Pizza?

From today's Philadelphia Inquirer:

A pizza deliveryman stopped by Lower Southampton Township police told officers that he was delivering pizzas in the same station wagon he used to ferry bodies for a mortuary transport service.

William Bethel Jr., 24, was stopped last Friday while driving a station wagon with an expired inspection certificate, police said. While checking the vehicle, police noticed a stretcher in the rear and asked what purpose it served.

Bethel told them that although he was delivering pizzas for a major pizza chain, he also "transports deceased bodies in the same vehicle," police said. The car was impounded, and Bethel was cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license and without a certificate of inspection, the Bucks County Courier Times reported.

Bethel said Tuesday that it was the first time he had used the wagon for both purposes, and that he didn't deliver pizzas and bodies simultaneously. He said he had been called to fill in at the restaurant, and because his car was in the shop, he had taken the wagon.

Bethel said he didn't tell the vehicle owner, Carl Delia of Bensalem, that he was going to deliver pizzas, and he didn't tell the restaurant that the wagon was also used to transport corpses. Delia, who runs the mortuary transport service, said he fired Bethel immediately, and the restaurant manager said Bethel had resigned.

County and state health officials say there is no law against delivering bodies and food in the same vehicle.

Chris Ryder, a spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture, said there would be no food safety concern as long as the pizzas and bodies are in "separate containers" - the pizza in a box and the corpse in a body bag or hermetically sealed box.

What's the punchline here?

"It's Not Delivery - It's DeCorpse-O!"

"30 Minutes - Stone Cold Or Free!"

"Who ordered the half-pepperoni, half-stiff?"

Any other suggestions? In the meantime, let's hope the pizza box and the hermetically sealed box don't get mixed up...
