Big Homie sent out a Myspace bulletin about this, and I was immediately inspired to make jokes. The New York Times reports that two men were arrested for pushing a corpse in a rolling office chair to the local check-cashing spot and attempting to cash his Social Security check. This sentence alone makes me laugh, and really doesn’t need any jokes. Then again…This is me, so you know what’s coming next…
What did they think this is? The ‘hood version of Weekend At Bernie’s? Who actually carts a dead body down the street, just to cash his punk-assed $350 check?! I’ve been broke before, but never that damned broke! It reminds me of the sketches on In Living Color where Jaimee Foxx used to walk around dragging his dead German shepherd, Duke, on a leash, seemingly oblivious that it was no longer alive.
That dead man’s roommates have to be two of the dumbest criminals known to mankind. It would have been easier just to take his ID, and find somebody that looks like him to cash it in exchange for half the check. Still, they deserve whatever’s coming to them for trying to pull off this hairbrained, crooked check-cashing scheme.
Rest in peace, old office chair man with the $355 Social Security check.
*wheels dead roommate back home*
Well, there goes that money-making scheme… back to the drawing board!
I heard about shit on the news this morning when I was half sleep. I thought I was bugging when I heard the reporters laughing while reporting it. That was stupid though. I would have done what you suggested.
I thought Weekend at Bernie’s, too!!!
The meanest thing I ever did was e-mail and mock a dead CEO soon after he kicked it at a job I hated but this is beyond stupid…
LMAO @ mocking a dead CEO! That’s still nowhere near the level of craziness of what these guys did
Mocking a dead CEO, why? :)
A joke I heard recently that is somewhat relevant to the title of this post:
‘The Obedient Wife’
There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife… ‘When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the after life with me.’ And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there – dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, ‘Wait just a moment!’
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away.
So her friend said, ‘Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.’
The loyal wife replied, ‘Listen, I’m a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.’
“You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?’
‘I sure did,’ said the wife. ‘I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check…. If he can cash it, then he can spend it.’
Wait! Wait! Wait!! AN OFFICE CHAIR?!! They couldn’t find a WHEELCHAIR at least? ROFL!! That is PURE COMEDY LOL!!!
Glad I could amuse! It was one of those horrible start-ups where they promised everyone would get rich quick after a little investment. I foolishly invested $1500 (the bare min) but some people gambled away $10,000 or more. The place went south in a year and the CEO dropped dead while pumping iron at the gym. I was so mad about the turn of events I e-mailed him something like “Hey Harry, what’s up? Heard you joined a gym, looking good…” My co-worker was kinda annoyed that I cc’d him but I still thought it was funny :)
^^^^ LOL. Dead wrong.
ROTF @milkmayun, good one.
And DAMN. Were they on crack??
for $350? split between two people. that aint shit. they were assholes for even trying that. and so were those two assholes who escaped from jail. did you hear about that one leon? a mexican and a black guy recently escaped. the black guy was caught in mexico and the mexican was caught gardening at his girlfriends house six blocks away from the jail. what is wrong with the people in the world today? everyone thinks that they can get away with ANYTHING. rolling a dead guy in a chair down the street thats suppose to be your friend anyway? not even a wheelchair. come on now.
