Drinkers shock at body in rum barrel
From correspondents in Budapest

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.

[Oldnslo]

Does rum taste that bad?

Does rum taste that bad?

I don't think so. Captain Morgan is my winter/Holiday season drink. You can mix all sorts of things in with it...eggnog, or coke, or orange juice. It's not bad straight, either. Of course, I've never tried it with dead body.

Good rum is like vodka - you drink it by straight. Even bad rum is good. Unless it comes in a plastic bottle.

Rule #3: Never buy liquor that comes in a plastic bottle.

I hope Rule #1 or #2 is "Don't drink liquor that has been aged with a dead guy."

I'm skeptical. Those bogus stories have been floating around since at least Admiral Nelson's time.

On the other hand, this stuff is real and good

Rule #1 is never get involved in a land war in Asia.

Rule #1 is never get involved in a land war in Asia.Didn't they just amend Rule #1 to include the Middle East also?

That's what the crew of Gilligan's Island always claimed. :texan:
