Weekend at Bernie's?
Two German women have been arrested at a UK airport trying to smuggle a dead man, propped in a wheelchair and wearing sunglasses, onto an easyJet flight to Germany.

The 91-year-old man's widow and stepdaughter drew the attention of security staff at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport when the group asked for help to lift the corpse from a taxi into a wheelchair before entering the departure terminal.

"I did my best to help by carefully lifting the man from his seat," airport security worker Andrew Millea told The Telegraph.

"To my horror his face fell sideways against mine, it was ice cold. I knew straight away that the man was dead, but they reassured me that he 'always sleeps like that'."

For some reason I found this hilariously funny.
