This news is to good to pass or make up:

Robert Young, Mark Rubinson, 2 Colo. Men Accused Of Driving Around With Dead Friend & Running Up Tab On Corpse's ATM Card

Two men accused of driving around with a dead friend and using his ATM card to withdraw $400 at a strip club are charged with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation, the Associated Press reports.

According to the arrest affidavit, Robert Jeffery Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25 went out for one last night of fun with the deceased Jeffrey Jarret on the night of Aug. 27.

The Denver Post reports that Jarret, while still living, had invited a financially struggling Young, an old friend from Colorado State University, to stay with him until Young caught a break. But on the night of Aug. 27, Young arrived at Jerret's Denver home to find him unresponsive. Instead of calling 911 to help Jarret (Jarret may or may not have been dead at that point), Young took Jarret's unresponsive body and went to the restaurant where Rubinson worked.

That's when the bizarre real-life version of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" party began for Young and Rubinson.

7News reports that Young and Rubinson put Jarret's body in the back seat of their car and went on an eating and drinking spree at multiple Denver restaurants and bars including Teddy T's Bar and Grill and Sam's No. 3. The two suspects then went back to Jarret's home and dropped off his body, but they took Jarret's bank card and headed to Shotgun Willie's, a Denver-area strip club, and stayed until the club closed.

Finally after leaving the strip club, around 4 a.m. the two flagged down a Glendale cop and told him that their friend was back at his house and that he might be dead, Fox31 reports.

It's unclear how Jeffrey Jarrett died, but the men are not charged in his death, according to the Associated Press. Robert Jeffrey Young and Mark Rubinson are free on bond but they couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.

ROFL? No, it really isn't. There's a difference between funny and something that's sick, crazy, and criminal.

Really, I have seen stuf written on TRF that are in poor taste and no one says anything about them, must be because I am new here.

Nice!!! I saw that article and thought is was funny, but I am in the medical field and we see sick stuff all the time and laugh about it. You aren't getting picked on because you are new. (BTW WELCOMETO THE FORUM!) Everyone picks on everyone here! It means we like you!

It's sick and disturbing that two individuals that nuts actually found each other and did this...but I laughed thinking about! I also grew up in the Weekend at Bernies era so that may be part of it.

I actually was involved in an incident when I worked in the ER, where a family took the ailing Aunt (or as we say here Taunt) around and picked up all the family members, before bringing her in. By the time we pulled her out of the car, she was cold and very dead. The family did NOT have a clue.

I also grew up with Weekend at Bernie's. People just do stupid things. Sometimes those horrible, stupid things can be amusing if you have a sick sense of humor, like me....(in the ER it is a protection mechanism to have a sense of humor).

Haha! That's crazy! I've bet you've got some good stories working in the ER

It's called gallows humor and it does keep folks from going insane when dealing with insane situations, especially when insanity becomes the norm.

[Lol-x]

If the guy was still alive, when he was first discovered, then this is a sad state of events. It is not normal responsible behaviour to do what these guys did.
