UNDERTAKER SMUGGLES CIGARETTES IN HEARSE

Undertaker Smuggles Cigarettes in Hearse

WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish undertaker was caught with his hearse packed with illegal cigarettes on Friday, Polish customs officers said.
"This attempt was a bit morbid. Even on Halloween," said Krystyna Mielnicka, spokeswoman for the customs office in the eastern city of Przemysl.

She said a Pole from a local funeral firm was returning from neighboring Ukraine, where he said he had taken a cadaver. But customs officers found 3,200 cigarette packs hidden in secret compartments in the hearse.

Thousands of Ukrainians and Poles try to outsmart customs officials each week to bring alcohol and tobacco into Poland, where they cost at least four times more than in Ukraine.

Thanks, I had it up before the peak of hurricane season but removed it temporarily as part of bandwidth savings time. :wink:
