Humerous Demise

**blackrat_scaleyback** · 22-10-2007, 09:12

Have just heard on the radio that the Mayor of Delhi has passed away the day after being attacked by a troop of monkeys. I s*it you not. I have to say, i laughed my c*ck off. What the f*ck was he up to? I'd love to read the head stone on that one. Can anyone think of any other classic demises such as this?

If my experience is anything to go by, he'll be the only person in history to die after being attacked by Monkeys. Except from laughter.

I've heard of a chap who was crushed by a piano at the bottom of a mine-shaft.

I've always had this vision of Rod Hull being attacked by his own Emu on the rooftop he fell off whilst trying to fix his TV antenna.

I always thought Parkinson had something to do with that death.

the headstone should have a small extract at the bottom

spanking the monkey could lead to an early grave!

Darwin awards are full of deserved ends.

My favorite is the lawyer in Toronto who would regularly (party trick)demonstrate the strength of the safety glass in his 24th floor office by running into it. During his last demonstration, the frame gave way.

Laugh?

I wonder how they killed him? Something to do with bananas i hope, that would be funny.

My sources say that to combat this pestilence of cheeky thieving and aggressive monkies the local authorities are bringing in.................

more agressive groups of larger predatory monkeys
