BAY PINES, Fla. — During a visit to review waiting times at the Bay Pines Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, inspector Floyd Rungren was left in a shower with a dead veteran for nine hours, sources confirmed today.

"In 35 years of service at the VA, I’ve never seen anything so outrageous as this,” said a perfectly-clean Rungren, displaying the shriveled skin on his fingertips. “They wanted me to inspect plumbing renovations at Bay Pines, and I agreed. Maybe there was a shift change or something but I was forgotten all day."

"I mean, I can't even use the fingerprint scanner back at the Department," he complained. "I guess I'll have to be let in on personal recognizance." Wiping soap from his extremely-clean left ear, Rungren said, "When I get back to my office, I'll file a strongly-worded report to my supervisor about having to kill time with that body lying there. Jesus."
