Two junkies tried to collect a dead relative's pension from the Post Office in a small town in Ireland. They were told he had to be present to get the pay-out. So they went back to the house and dragged the dead guy into the Post Office (now wearing a mask and sunglasses - in winter no less) and tried to pretend he was still alive. They were propping him up between themselves at the counter. Human beings never cease to amaze me at what they are capable of doing. Some people are just plain bonkers.
