Norman Bates?
Is incest allowed in taxidermy? Or only in embalming?
Luckily, we don't all have to live in such an ugly house; home is where the heart is, I suppose, so it follows he'd have odd hobbies. Of all the stuffing options open to him, I guess he picked the wrong one, or just had an aversion to running water, silly boy.
I wonder why it's referred to as running water, when water is patently legless? Imagine having to learn English as an adult! It could drive one insane. Maybe Mr Bates was an immigrant.
