Black Friday Deals from the L.A. Coroner's Gift Shop? Aiming to Revive Sales of "Morgue Merchandise"
LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) The morgue has got to be the last place you'd think to go shopping - so perhaps it's not surprising that sales at the Los Angeles County Coroner's gift shop are next to dead.

Then again, officials are encouraging the coroner to develop a marketing strategy. They appear to be dead serious.

Tucked as unobtrusively as possible in a closed-door room off the coroner's lobby, the store is jam-packed with mortality-mocking merchandise: Water bottles marked "bodily fluids," boxer shorts dubbed "undertakers," toe tags, crime-scene tape and beach towels bearing the county coroner's trademarked symbol of a body outline.

Sales have flatlined the last couple of years.

My wallet has achieved rigor mortis when it comes to purchasing things from the LA County Coroner.

BTW, I've actually had to go there. It was just like on Quincy. (for you OLD folks)
