Would you be offended?

My husband just out of the blue says if he ever went back to school, he'd like to be a mortician. He's never shown any interest before and hates even going to funerals/viewings. I kinda gave him a look and he said "what?" I was like "I dunno. Just kinda morbid." He started getting all offensive and saying I practically called him retarded for wanting to do that and saying I am calling all morticians stupid and retarted.

I have nothing against morticians. At all. ?????
