5412 - Stand up straight!




Two men take corpse into Irish post office to claim dead man’s pension.

Deceased man ‘propped up’ by two men as they walked into the building in County Carlow on Friday morning.


Here's the story. And there is a link to a follow-up story on that page.

And we thought all the dummies were in the US.


And today is 02/02/2022 in the US.
But it's 02/02/2022 in England.

  1. The American version of this story would be two guys in a Florida retirement community taking their dead neighbor to a polling place to vote for Der Furor.

  9. I worry about what that poor man might have gone through BEFORE dying, if those were his relatives or friends who were trying to claim his money ... People can be so heartless.
