DONT MESS WITH A CORPSE...

A group of medical students at Bristol University were talking about a corpse they had seen in the mortuary. Someone in the group dared anyone to sneak into the mortuary and plunge a knife into the corpse. One student said he would do it if the others each bought him a beer afterwards. The student entered the mortuary while the others waited outside. Soon after, the students heard a scream and ran away in terror. The next morning, the student was found dead on the mortuary floor and a knife was discovered sticking out of a corpse. A torn piece of the student's shirt was hanging off the knife. As the student had stabbed the corpse, the knife had caught on his shirt, causing him to think that the corpse was holding him back - he had a heart attack.
