News accounts (true story) indicate that a 58 year old Argentinian shepherd was found dead after neighbors detected a foul-smelling odor emanating from his home and asked police to investigate. The police, who at first thought that there were two fatalities, discovered that there was only one and the other was in fact a scarecrow on its back on the floor, adorned in lipstick and long-haired wig, with a strap-on dildo secured around its waist.
There was no sign of a lovers quarrel, reported one newspaper covering the story.
I found nothing to indicate whether the scene was a bloody mess or whether the shepherd had died of natural causes. An autopsy is pending regarding cause of death.
Although obviously a tragedy, I have to admit that three things quickly came to mind:
1. The shepherd apparently thought he had "squatters" rights.
2. If the coroner rules that the death was caused by rupture of a membrane, it is unfortunate that the Scarecrow did not borrow the Tin Man's oil can to provide lubrication.
3. The shepherd no doubt came and went at about the same time. |
