You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!
Sneaking a dead guy onto a plane.
Like a real life weekend at Bernies, two British women tried to sneak a dead man onto a plane.
What the hell? You can’t even sneak a smoke in an airline lavatory and you’re going to smuggle a deceased man into the friendly skies?
In today’s hyper sensitive take off your shoes and cough for TSA kind of world, who would be dumb enough to steal a page out of a bad movie and smuggle a dead man out of Brittain?
The corpse was reportedly 91 years old. He was in a wheel chair and his face was obscured with a scarff and sunglasses. The two women trying to get him on the Germany bound plane are related to the man.
How he died is not known at this time. He might have had a heart attack from being dressed up like a snow man being wheeled wildly through the airport.
It’s not like security didn’t notice the oddity. This is what security does in airports now-a-days. The law stopped the women to ask, “What’s up with the fermenting human taco?”
“He’s sleeping,” the women responded.
Sleeping? the security guys quizzed.
Yeah, taking a dirt nap, would have been a better answer.
The man has been identified as Willi Jarant. It turns out his wife and step-daughter were the ones trying to take the old timer to Germany.
The women are accused of trying to smuggle his body on to a flight so they could hold a funeral in Germany without paying £3,000 repatriation costs.
The women say the old man ate bacon and eggs that morning and died while wheeling through the airport.
An airport worker reports that his face was colder than Martha Stewart’s heart.
There’s a lot left to know about this story. Was the man alive and the incident just a horrible mistake? Were the women going to Germany to bury the man and avoid the usual fees? Would someone actually try and knowingly sneak a dead man onto a plane? Who the hell even thinks it can be done? It’s not like this is Hogan’s Heroes and the air marshall is played by Col. Klink.
In the movie Weekend at Bernie’s: Bernie is the rich man who dies after inviting employees to his fashionable beach house.
Rather than call authorities and the report the death, which would fundamentally end the tireless jocularity, the young men take Bernie on a variety of odyssesys including water skiing and throwing a party at his palatial beach hut.
The idea is; Bernie is drunk or sleeping or quietly taking it all in. It works for a stupid movie, but nobody could possibly think that it’s going to work in real life.
These John Lennon Airpot guys are trained to detect dead passengers boarding international flights.
The women were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of death. They have been released on bail until June 1, 2010. The coroner has been informed and police are continuing with their inquiries.”
The state took control of the corpse which is now fermenting as evidence in a London morgue.
My advice to the women, get a good laywer and sell the movie rights before the judge throws you in jail.
And that is crazy!
