Secret ingredient a bit rum From correspondents in Budapest 05-05-2006 From: 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. 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-litre 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. |

Slap me if you've heard this one...
My uncle Klaus slipped and fell into a vat of scotch and drowned. Three men tried to save him, but he tragically fought them off bravely.
ba dum BUMP kssshhhhhh...
Klaus had been depressed for some time, and his demise was a strange echo of his own father's death, which he dwelled on constantly and couldn't seem to get over. His dad died in a concentration camp during WWII... he got drunk and fell out of his guard tower.
ba dum BUMP kssshhhhhh...
No, but seriously folks, you're a great audience, thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week... and remember, FUNERAL is just an anagram for REAL FUN.
ba dum BUMP kssshhhhhh...

I once attended a dinner party where a pickled moth was found in the bottom of the tomato juice can - AFTER mostly everyone had finished their glasses of juice. Turned me off tomato juice for awhile. Wonder if these construction workers will be drinking rum in the near future? Especially the bottles they decanted to take home.
Wonder why the wife didn't bury the guy after he got home?
Jamaican rum is good stuff.

There's probably at least one fetish website out there where people trade fanfic about drinking booze with corpse in it, probably right next door to the fetish website where people trade fanfic about drinking Sailor Moon's bathwater. And hey, if this had happened in China the workers would have convinced themselves that the stuff had some sort of amazing medicinal properties. Wonder why the wife didn't bury the guy after he got home? I think a lot of wives wonder this about themselves when their husbands come home pickled. It's just a good thing she didn't try to cremate him, it would have been hell trying to put the fire out. Jamaican rum is good stuff. I can think of some things that come from Jamaica that are much better, but to each his own. |

Sometimes, one just needs a little extra something to give their nectar of choice that little je ne sais quoi.. The mexicans haev perfected that art with Mezcal (a close cousin of Raoul's poison of choice).. There's something about that worm at the bottom of the bottle that just makes it taste better.

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. This is a murder mystery, right? Or am I not lateral enough in the expressions of my emotions. Like the love of my life has just carked it in a land far away from home and I send his dear remains home pickled and then keep the vat in the cellar for another twenty years or so. To be eventually drunk by a gleeful band of workers who had no idea that they better start get monitered for the equivalent of the alcoholics version of Mad Cow's Disease. This has to have more to the eye than we have been led to believe. Or am I just too passive aggressive for my own good? |

Probably.
Hamish's message down on the jobs board worries the crap out of me. There are some bastards around. One's a member here.

Stop freaking me out. I don't know a woman who wouldn't have chopped off her husbands balls and have them fried for breakfast in an open friendly sort of way but I have never yet met one who invited his buddies to the party.
