Too damn funny!
I rarely post complete articles from other sources but feel the need to do so in this case, as I might no be able to find this any other way in the months to come:
Builders in Szeged, Hungary, had been helping themselves to a man-sized barrel of rum while renovating a derelict property. They even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.
When they drank their way to the bottom of the barrel over the months, they were shocked to find a shrivelled male corpse in it.
According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, the workers tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy.
They got a nasty surprise when the body of a naked man fell out.
The body of the man, a former diplomat, had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum. She wanted to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
As she didn’t have many relatives or friends in Hungary, no one asked what had happened to her husband.
When she died 20 years later, her house was sold to a couple who in turn hired the thirsty workmen.
The diplomat has since been buried in a proper grave. – Reuters.
