Is Dead Man Walking!
Is Charley Ahern makeing his retirement speech on the steps of Dail Eireann alongside John O'Gormley and Biff O'Cowen.
Even though the story that is making everyone in Ireland laugh today is the news that Charley Ahern will be put down on May 6, the funny news that is making everybody laugh today in Spain is not the Dead Man Walking but the Living Man Lying Down.
Police in a small town near Valencia was alerted to a man breaking into a mortuary by neighbours, who were alive, but when the police get there, there is no sign of the burglar at all escept for him lying on a slab in his grungy anorak under the sheets!
According to the police, they knew he was not a corpse because (1) all the corpses round their way dress much better than the burglarer, wearing their Sunday best when they are going to their funeral, and (2) they could see the glow of his cigarette under the sheet. Even in Spain, most corpses give up smoking when they die.
As yet, the police are being unable to esplain why the man would break into a mortuary in the first place. Is not like there are any nice-looking girls in there or any decent drugs he could steal.
My suspicion is that he had heard the news about Charley from Dublin, and he feel that life was just not worth living any more.
Is a joke!!

He was probably dead beat. And he was a dead beat. Do you get it? Its the way I type them. I must give up the drink.
It's always a small town near Valencia, isn't it. I blame the schools.
Ah, the 'corpses are better dressed' ruse - why do burglars always persist in trying that one? Is a mystery...
Hola Sam the PCB--
ha ha ha. Or, in the case of Valencia, the absence of schools!
Hola jen--
is only in Monte Carlo, I think, that the burglarers wear evening dress. But of course you would espect a better class of burglarer there, I think.
