The premise
Here’s the bit.
At the afterlife check-in desk, Death takes down Francis Bacon’s particulars with little respect for his profession. Bacon proudly describes an experiment to preserve a chicken using ice, then admits that exposure to the cold proved fatal for the experimenter. Death enjoys the discrepancy far more than his latest arrival does.

From freezing a chicken?
I love my job sometimes, I do.
