BODY DUMP

Two sisters from Austin, Texas, took their elderly father for a holiday in the south of Mexico. A few days into their trip, however, the father had a heart attack and died. Distraught and possibly not thinking straight, the two sisters decide to try to take the body back themselves on the train, so that he could be buried in Texas. They propped their father up in their compartment to make it look like he was just sleeping. After a few hours, the train stopped for an hour at a small town, so the sisters got off to get something to eat and freshen up. They left their dead father on the train wrapped in a blanket, confident that no-one would touch him. The sisters spent so long looking for a place to eat that they lost track of time and had to run to catch the train. Panting, they finally returned to their compartment, but were shocked to discover that not only had a couple of drunken men taken over their compartment, but their father was nowhere to be seen. One sister, deciding to be blunt, told the men about their dead father. The drunken man turned to his companion and, laughing, said, "He was already dead. Thank goodness for that. My friend is so drunk, he dropped his suitcase on him and thought he killed him, so he threw him out the window a few miles back"
