Making A Grave Mistake

As odd suicide bids go, this one is rather impressive.

Milo Bogisic, 52, walked in to a funeral parlour in Podgorica, Montenegro, and paid cash for a coffin. Staff looked on bemused as he sat down and wrote his own obituary, but they weren't expecting him to climb in to the casket and shoot himself in the head.

His aim was so bad that the bullet just went through his chin and nose. Paramedics saved his life, which apparently he's not best pleased about. He was suffering from "family problems".

The funny bit was that Palma Funerals wouldn't give him a refund on the coffin, saying that one day he'll get some use out of it.

Absolutely priceless!

And excellent justification by the funeral director for no refund, I thought.

Will they be charging him storage or will he be taking it home. Interesting conversation piece once he's sorted out his family problems.

Lady Thatcher

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."

Voltaire

"Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare."
