Construction workers in Szeged, Hungary who were renovating a house discovered a barrel of rum while the were working. They would pour themselves a drink every once in a while. The said the rum had a "special taste" but that was okay. They drank 300 liters of the rum and were preparing to throw the barrel. But, it's not really possible for Hungarians to throw out a barrel until the make sure that it's really empty. They opened it up and oops! There was the body of a dead man inside. The man, who was a Hungarian diplomat, had died some 20 years earlier in Jamaica. Eeeuuww! Just think, drinking an entire barrel full of rum with a 20 year old dead body in it! I'm feeling a little queasy just imagining it.
It turns out that sending a body to Hungary was quite difficult and expensive. The man's wife, who had recently died herself, had him shipped back to Hungary in a rum barrel to save money. Okay, but she just left him there. She didn't bother to bury him.
