Default Cash-for-corpse plan misfires
New York - Two New York men wheeled the corpse of their friend around the pavements of midtown Manhattan in an office chair in a failed attempt to cash his $355 Social Security cheque, police said.

Virgilio Cintron, 66, had died of natural causes when two of his friends, both aged 65, brought him to a cheque-cashing store in the Hell's Kitchen neighbourhood on Tuesday.

"They were trying to pass him off as still being alive," police spokesperson Paul Browne said.

The two suspects left the corpse on the pavement while they attempted to cash the cheque, but the clerk knew Cintron and asked to see him. The two men promised to bring him right back, but when they went outside to retrieve him a crowd had gathered around the dead man.

An on-duty detective who had been eating lunch nearby spotted Cintron and immediately realised he was dead, putting an end to the caper.

It reminds of that film, "Weekend at Bernies"...

I suppose they figured that he didn't need the money, so they'd cash it themselves...
I can't believe what some people will do for a money (even a small amount like $335)

Europhic Mood was set last night.... haven't changed it today... yet.
Was happy last night because things seem to be working to plan regarding my daughter... long story...

Today, I'm just tired as I've been called out every morning so far this week ad around 2 in the morning... thank goodness tonight is my last night on call for a while.

Why are you grumpy?
