In this excerpt from "Strip Tease" by Carl Hiaasen, Shad and Garcia discuss discovering a human head in an Igloo cooler. Garcia reveals that the head belongs to Francisco Goyo, who has been murdered and dumped across multiple locations, complicating the investigation. The characters react with shock and a touch of dark humor to the macabre find.

Garcia explains the unusual choice of cooler by saying, "So it won't stink up the car," highlighting the grisly aspect with a bit of practical reasoning. The conversation underscores the bizarre and grim tone of the story, with characters dealing with gruesome crimes in a casual, even humorous manner.
