:shocked:

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.

That must be one of those things that seemed like a much better idea at the time.

You know what Mike we are both right

All Tequila is Mezcal, but not all Mezcal is Tequila

The Mezcal that I had with the worm in it definately wasn't Tequila and it definately didn't taste good like Tequila. Personally I've never seem Tequila with a worm it it but almost all Mezcal I've had or seen has had the worm it it.

haha I call SHENS. Surprised no one has said this yet.

I can't navigate http://www.zsaru.hu/ very well, but they do have a picture of a barrel on the site. But if you weant to take the word of two drunk off their butts workers from Hungary.... then so be it.
