Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel

2 hours, 44 minutes ago

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.

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.

Kind of gives a new meaning to referring to someone as getting pickled on alcohol.

This makes me leery. My co-worker is going to buy me some alcohol in Nicaraugaguauga, and it's mostly likely going to be rum.

Oh well. I'll live with it. *hiccup*

Good - Free rum while renovating a house.
Better - Has an extra kick and you decide to share with friends and family.
Bad - A pickled corpse drops out from inside the barrel.

Heh...make sure it's the real thing and not some cheap methanol-based booze. You go blind in a few minutes, permanently, and then you die, unless you get to a hospital where they pump you full of ethyl alcohol (the good stuff) to prevent the methanol from being metabolized.
