"Bring out yer dead!"
"I'm not dead yet!"

I would have claimed I thought she was sleeping.

Then again, I would not ride, for two days, with a body in the car.

You just can't travel with anything out of the ordinary anymore.

2003-03-20 07:14:25 PM
Chevy Chase woulda put her on the roof rack at least.

/off topic...sorry

For anyone in the surrounding Gainesville, Florida area, I have two extra general admission tickets for Sister Hazel tomorrow night at 9:00pm at the Palace that I'm giving away. A couple of my friends had an work engagement and had to back out at the last minute. If anyone is interested email me at the addy in my profile. I would hate for the tickets to go to waste.

It was the empty leash attached to the rear bumper that really upset the border guard.

Prolly the quietest car ride with his mother-in-law ever.

Did anyone else see "dead baby" in the car? Hmm

I wish I could be more partial to the mans reasoning..."She's dead...lets just put a cloth on her face, they wouldn't do a thing like stop us for a dead body, now would they?"

I say burnination for the canadian with bad judgement.

The best movie about hauling a cadaver over the border is Bruce MacDonald's 'Highwy 61' featuring Jello Biafra as the earnest US Customs officer.

That's, uh, it.

Where's the dumbass tag? Huh? huh? You don't just leave a dead body in a car...christ that's disgusting.
 
2003-03-20 07:30:41 PM
prop her up and tell them she is sleeping, shhhhh.
 
2003-03-20 07:31:21 PM
Brockville is really close to my Grandma's house, and the border crossing they went through is even closer. And I've been through that crossing, it goes onto I-81.
 
2003-03-20 07:31:36 PM
The funny thing is that just the other night, TLC or DSC had an urban legend show that treated the ol' body on the roof rack story. They could not find any real examples.
I bet this story would have made them rewrite the story a bit.

What kind of idiot would leave dead body in the car? You can't even get over the border (US-Canada) without opening your trunk. He should have at least hid the lady under the car, they don't check the underside.

a few more days and he could have had the moniker, "Lord of the Flies".

The big question. Who will be Weeners a picture of the gradma on the roof of a car in National Lampoon's Vacation?

The counter-attack continues! YEE-HAW!
 
2003-03-20 07:52:11 PM
I thought this was OK as long as it was just for your own personal use.

Oh, wait...

WeeKeef - That's disgusting. Funny, but disgusting.

I bet he tried to convince the border guards that she was just sleeping so he could avoid paying duty on the extra smokes and booze he bought in Florida.
 
2003-03-20 08:28:34 PM
maybe it was one of those times where you would have been better off buying the insurance.
 
2003-03-20 09:03:40 PM
My father in law has a place in Florida and he doesn't buy extra health insurance...I have a feeling one of these days I'll be doing the same as the dork in the news story.

Canada.com is slowwwww..... eh.
 
2003-03-20 11:04:14 PM
Is that a tea-cozy on her head?

what happens if someone is asleep on the back seat? do they wake them?
 
GCD
2003-03-21 12:41:41 AM
GSC, yes, usually they do wake sleeping people up.

Well.... I crossed the Pacific Border crossing (BC/Washington)

I had one bag of 6-8-6 fertilizer in my trunk I picked up, but didnt get a chance to drop off at my house. I had my girlfriend with me.....

And when the customs officer looked in the trunk, and saw the bag of fertilizer... he said "Why do you have so much fertilizer with you?" I said because I need to fertilize my lawn, and I didnt get a chance to drop it off at my house.

So as he put it, "Well, technically you have a weapon in your trunk, its not the best thing to bring with you to a border crossing"

Hey! That's my hometown! Wow, the things you miss in local news when you're away in university. My mom will probably call tomorrow and tell me all about. =)
 
2003-03-21 02:49:12 AM
Ok, maybe I'm just too tired, but how is fertilizer a weapon?
 
2003-03-21 03:18:06 AM
fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate, which is explosive...it was used in the oklahoma city bombings
 
2003-03-21 03:23:10 AM
Every time I cross the border, it was just several questions and on through I went.

Once I almost made the mistake of crossing the border without my drivers license in a rental car that wasn't under my name. But I still got on my return flight home with just my credit card as an ID. LAX to MCI. Go figure...
 
2003-03-21 11:28:33 AM
Hey I'd do the same thing if I was that guy... imagine if you turned her into a local hospital or morgue, you'd end up going home and then have to ship the damn corpse over the border through fed-ex or some other expensive courier no doubt to get her home where she's undoubtledly got a plot waiting for her. Why not save the time and energy and just drive the dead old bird home with you, and explain yourself to the customs guys? They obviously let them over the border with minimal hassle... quick investigation by the cops, maybe a "transporting perishable items" tax and wham bam, got the body back home just before it started to really stink! It's all about the common sense, people.
