A family from England went on holiday to France, taking their wealthy and elderly grandma. She spent the entire trip moaning and grousing, until one day, she died.
They knew she would have wanted to be buried in England, but not wishing to spend days at customs on paperwork, they decided to hide her. They bought a cheap bit of carpet, rolled Granny up in it and strapped her on the roof . They drove back through France, through sunshine and rain, across the Channel by ferry, and made it through French and English customs without a hitch.
Having reached home, the family were devastated when after a well-earned cuppa, they went outside to find that the car had been stolen – carpet, Granny and all. They were never recovered, and being unable to produce a body, the family were unable to collect on the old lady's will.
