SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 May 5, 2006 You HAVE GOT to read this!!!!!!!!! BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported. ADVERTISEMENT According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out. The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return. According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home. The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave. I think my breakfast is coming back up!! BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

airtwardo 7 #9 May 5, 2006 Back in the 'olden dayz' that's how they use to 'keep' a body until burial... They didn't have embalming back then, so they used a barrel of cheap whiskey. When they pulled the corpse out, sometimes an 'unscrupulous' funeral director would sell the the remaining stuff in the barrel...known as "Rot Gut Whiskey" That's all for today class...... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
