I'm not sure this story is appropriate here but I'll tell it anyway. It is true. Ask Garnet the next time you see him:

PLACENTA HELPER

Back in the 1970's when I lived at Rivendell Housing Co-op in Michigan, we used to host itinerant folk musicians who performed at the 10-Pound Fiddle Coffeehouse. Well, that evening it was Stan Rogers, his brother Garnet and bass player Dave Eddy. The concert was the evening before and of course it continued as a late night party in our living room, partially fueled by a bottle of absolute alcohol supplied by one of our resident bio-med students. Anyway, everyone was somewhat bleary eyed when they awoke late next afternoon. We pulled together a wonderful vegetarian chili and some meat chili for our guests. Most of our members were vegetarians, and Stan and the boys began baiting the vegetarians with stories and songs. Steve responded by vividly describing the home birth that had taken place in our house a few years back, casually mentioning that since we didn't know what to do with the placenta in the middle of the winter someone had wrapped it up in wax paper and stuffed it in the freezer. One of our new members and cook for the day, Karrie, then chimed in on cue, "In the freezer downstairs? Oh, no!" Stan and the boys turned white…We did bury the placenta the next spring in the backyard before a real "accident" happened.
