Imagine the discount on a can of sardines!

Although it eeked out to the US press today, apparently back in July, a woman in Christchurch, New Zealand, in an effort to reduce her vehicle registration fee, changed her listing to a 'non-commercial hearse.' Never mind that she never carried a human corpse in her vehicle ever; the 'bodies' in questions were chickens she brought home from the supermarket. While she should have known that was stupid, the Post Shop employee who actually approved the registration should be sacked. I mean, really. What would a can of sardines (already dead bodies in a little metallic coffin) get me? $0 and a free lifetime pass to the carpool lane? Aieeeee.... However, authorities have warned of a $1,000 fine for anybody else attempting the same nonsense. This is like the folks who try to use the carpool lanes with dress shop dummies or claiming an unborn baby as a passenger....

Oooh I obviously don't read the newspaper in my own country thoroughly - I missed that.

I actually found it on a British site first, then the NZ one :)
