There was a hospital near where I used to live and the mortuary was in a building remote from the main building, the porters were always playing practical jokes on people and one dark night they had a death on the geriatric ward,one porter went to the ward to collect the body, there was a new student nurse on nights, so it was decided to have a laugh with her. The other porter, went to the mortuary, covered his face and chest with talcum powder to make himself look pale and laid down on a slab.
The porter collecting the body asked the young student to accompany him to the mortuary, as, it was a 2 man job putting the body away, he left her stood by the slab with the body of the "dead" porter on it, and "went to fetch a tag". The "dead" porter rose up from the slab, and tried to touch the student, at this point it all went badly wrong.
After depositing something rather unpleasant in her underwear, she fled the building screaming, she collapsed in front of some senior members of staff, had to be sedated and placed in a hospital bed for the night. The following morning there was an advertisement in the local jobcentre, 2 porters required at local hospital!
