Unsettling Quick Response

It's amazing how quickly someone will return your message when you want to give them a brain. <--- This is probably the best opening line of one of my journals of all time.

I'm drafting a will for a client and she wants, upon her death, of course, to donate her brain to the Alabama Brain Collection. I wasn't sure how to accomplish such a task, so I sent an e-mail to the director of the ABC. In the course of legal biz, I expect to hear back from people in a couple of days, best case scenario in a few hours. This lady responded in 10 minutes. I couldn't fault her for efficiency. I can however fault her for the level of subtle creepiness contained in the response.

She wanted to know if my client wanted to donate her brain or her whole body. They could really use the whole body. How old was the client? Can they see her medical records? Can they call her?

It gave me the impression that if they could, they'd take my client's brain with their bare hands. It gave me the jibblies.
