Dead guy on the half shell.

Funniest part for me was reading they lived in League City Texas, my old stomping grounds!

"She claimed that he ate some bad oysters and died in a taxi".

Could have been worse - he could have been in Detroit.

What an idiot.

Hey KDP, I'm in Detroit, I wish I could afford oysters.

Whaddyawant? They're Hindus...don't you believe in spontaneous reincarnation?

Don't put these jerks in our Jails. Remove their citizenship, take all the property and pay the restitution and give 'em what's left at the door of the plane back to Asia. If the kids were born here, tell 'em to come back after their 18th birthday.

And, do you REALLY believe their ambulance chaser didn't know he wasn't dead?

Not guilty.. really? You are going to stand there, alive, and plead not guilty?
Brilliant!

FBI agents called him last December and told him Misir had walked into the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, and asked to renew his passport.

"Hey, it says here you're supposed to be dead."

"I got better!"

Ridiculous! How they thought they could get away with it I'll never know

If it wasn't for those meddling kids at the embassy, I'd have gotten off scot free, I tell you!

I don't get the part about him trying to renew his passport. Did he think no one would notice? Was he not aware that he was supposed to be dead? I need answers, dammit.
