Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel Thu May 4, 9:49 AM ET
Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.
According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.
The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.
The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.

Oh man......I got a rum recommendation for you.
If you ever find Wray and Nephew overproofed rum try a bottle. Jamaican. It is over 150 proof, might even be close to 180, I don't remember. But is is really mellow tasting, not harsh like Bacardi 151.
If your lady likes froofy drinks and you are going in the mood to get smashed, Bryers Vanilla, Coke and Wray and Nephew. Rum and coke floats. Tasty but leaves a skanky film in the glass.
But if a dead guy in your rum is your thing, well thats good too.
