Forensic Entomology
Forensic Entomology
Forensic Entomology, or Medicocriminal Entomology, is the science of using insect evidence to uncover circumstances of interest to the law, often related to a crime. The time of death, for example, can usually be determined using insect evidence gathered from and around a corpse, provided the evidence is properly collected, preserved and analyzed by an appropriately educated forensic entomologist.
Insect scientists, or entomologists, are being called upon with increasing frequency to apply their knowledge and expertise to criminal and civil proceedings. They are also recognized members of forensic laboratories and medical/legal investigation teams.

Me: “Hello, ma’am. How may I help you?”
Woman: “Oh, when is your baby due?”
Me: “I’m not pregnant, ma’am, just fat.”
Woman: “That’s very rude, you know. Pretending to be pregnant just so people can be nice to you!”
Me: *gritting teeth* “I am not pretending anything, ma’am, I promise you. Now, how may I help you?”
Woman: “No! You are a liar, and I am going somewhere where non-lying people can help me!”
Me: “Thank you ma’am, and have a nice day.”
Woman: “LIAR!”

Sandwich Shop | Oregon, USA
Customer: “I want the Cheesecake Sandwich with provolone, double meat and extra veggies.”
Me: “The Cheesesteak already comes with double meat. It will be a few extra dollars if I add more. We don’t have provolone, what cheese would you like instead?”
Customer: “You’re kidding, right? I’m not paying $10 for a sandwich! And without provolone! Just give me the extra meat, you don’t have to weigh it exactly. No one will know!”
Me: “I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”
(I weigh the meat to the correct portion and put it on the sandwich.)
Customer: “That’s too much meat! What are you doing?”
Me: “Actually, this is the correct portion. Would you like me to take some off?
Customer: “Only if you lower the price. I said add more meat, so ADD it! And why don’t you have provolone? ***’s has it… and where are the veggies?”
Me: “It typically doesn’t come with them, but I can add tomato, onions, lettuce, olives or mushrooms.”
Customer: “I can only pick ONE?”
Me: “No… any or all of them.”
Customer: “All of those are gross! God, who would eat that?”
Me: “… so no veggies?”
Customer: “Are they free?”
Me: “Yes…”
Customer: “Put them all on, and I’ll just pick off whatever I don’t like.”
Me: “Okay, thank you…” *smiling, thinking it’s over*
(After I finish the sub, the customer argues with the cashier over the price of the sub, demanding a discount.)
Customer: “This place is so expensive and I can’t even get provolone! The veggies are all mixed together! This isn’t like *** at all! I didn’t even want half of them! Where is your manager?”
Me: “Hi, can I help you?”
Customer: “You again!”
(The customer makes a pissed off face, and then opens the sub. They start picking it apart on the counter.)
Customer: “Your cashier is trying to ring me up, but that’s not the price! Refund me or I’m never coming here again!”
Me: “Actually, I just made that for you. You didn’t want the meat removed, so it is that price. I can remake it if you’d like, with less meat. Or would you still like a refund?”
Customer: “Never mind!” *throws sub in trash and leaves without paying*
(Just… wow.)

(A customer is buying a stamp for a letter shortly after the 2007 price increase.)
Customer: “Why can’t I get a 39 cent stamp? You still have them.”
Me: “We still have them in stock, but we have to make up the difference with 2 cent stamps. Don’t worry, we’ll stick the right amount on for you.”
Customer: “I just want a 39 cent stamp.”
Me: “Okay, but your letter will not get there.”
Customer: “Just give me it!”
(The customer takes the stamp, affixes it, and tosses the letter into the slot. I promptly pick up the letter from the bin and stamp it “Insufficient Postage, Return To Sender”.)

Stiff Of The Day: Chief Cochise
"I am alone in the world. I want to live in these mountains; I
do not want to go to Tularosa. That is a long way off. I have
drunk of the waters of the Dragoon Mountains and they
have cooled me: I do not want to leave here."
Full Name:
Chief Cochise
DOB/DOD:
1815
June 8, 1874
Buried in the Dragoon Mountains of Arizona,unknown area.
Claim To Fame:
Cochise (pronounced /koˈʧis/) (K'uu-ch'ish = "firewood") (c. 1815–June 8, 1874) was a chief (a nantan) of the Chokonen ("central" or "real" Chiricahua) band of the Chiricahua Apache and the leader of an uprising that began in 1861. Cochise County, Arizona is named after him.
Cochise was one of the most famous Apache leaders (along with Geronimo) to resist intrusions by Mexicans and Americans during the 19th century. He was described as a large man (for the time), with a muscular frame, classical features, and long black hair which he wore in traditional Apache style.
Cochise and the Chokonen-Chiricahua lived in the area that is now the northern Mexican region of Sonora, New Mexico, and Arizona, which were traditional Apache territories until the coming of the Europeans. Due to encroachment by Spain and later Mexico, the Chokonen and Nednhi-Chiricahua became increasingly dependent upon food rations issued by the Mexican government to placate them. When this practice was abruptly ended in 1831, the various Chiricahua bands resumed raids to acquire food.
The Mexican government began a series of military operations in order to either capture or neutralize the Chiricahua, but they received stiff resistance from Cochise and the Apache who were implacable foes. Mexican troops were largely unsuccessful in their attempts and were often fought to a standstill by the Apache. As part of their attempts at controlling the Chiricahua, Mexican forces, often with the help of American and Native American mercenaries, began to kill Apache civilians, including Cochise's father. This hardened Cochise's resolve and gave the Chiricahua more reason for vengeance. Mexican forces were finally able to capture Cochise in 1848 during an Apache raid on Fronteras, Sonora, but they exchanged him for nearly a dozen Mexican prisoners.
Following various skirmishes, Cochise and his men were gradually driven into the Dragoon Mountains but were nevertheless able to use the mountains as cover and as a base from which to continue significant skirmishes against white settlements. This was the situation until 1871 when General George Crook assumed command and used other Apaches as scouts and informants and was thereby able to force Cochise's men to surrender. Cochise was taken into custody in September of that year.
The next year, the Chiricahua were ordered to Tularosa Reservation located in New Mexico, but refused to leave their ancestral lands in Arizona, which were guaranteed to them under treaty. Cochise managed to escape again and renewed raids and skirmishes against settlements through most of 1872. A new treaty was later negotiated by General Oliver O. Howard, with the help of Tom Jeffords who had become blood brother to Cochise, as the Americans relented to some of the Apaches' terms. Cochise quietly retired to an Arizona reservation, where he died of natural causes.
