I gotta stop reading the newspaper

Okay, you can just shoot me and bury me in the garden because now I've read it all. This story appeared in our local newspaper.

A woman in Lake Jackson, Texas, was arrested and charged with negligent homicide in the death of her husband. It seems that he had a long history of alcoholism and was desperate for a high. He could no longer ingest alcohol by mouth because of "painful medical problems" with his throat.

So what these two geniuses came up with was this: she administered an alcohol enema to him using (are you ready?) not one but TWO 1.5 liter bottles of sherry. Sherry? Huh? You heard correctly. I am NOT making this up. The coroner determined that the guy's blood alcohol level was 0.47, which is almost six times the legal intoxication limit.

Detective Robert Turner of the Lake Jackson police said, "I heard of this kind of thing in mortuary school in 1970, but this is the first time I've ever heard of someone actually doing it". And they're going to be talking about this one in other mortuary schools, too. I'm beyond speechless. [facepalm]
