Weekend at Jeffrey's?

In one of the most hilarious stories of the weekend, two Colorado men, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson, were apparently arrested last week in Denver for putting their friend, Jeffrey Jarrett, who died earlier in the night from unknown causes, into the backseat of their car, and driving around from bar to bar using his ATM card to finance their drinking binge. That's right! It was like a scene out of the old 80s hit comedy movie "Weekend at Bernie's".

According to Denver police, Young and Rubinson loaded an unresponsive 43-year-old, Jarrett, into their vehicle at around 11 PM, and drove to a local bar/restaurant called Teddy T's. They left Jarrett's carcass in the car, while they used his ATM card to drink for about an hour. From there, the dynamic duo ventured off to another bar/restaurant called Sam's Number 3, still with their dead buddy in tow, where they drank some more on Jarrett's tab before finally returning to his home and lugging his body inside. The two men, still armed with Jarrett's ATM card, were apparently hungry after all of that drinking, so they left Jarrett's body at his home on the couch, and headed to a place called Viva Burrito to grab a bite to eat. The duo's night was still not over, as after their quick nosh, they were off to a strip club called Shotgun Willie's where the pair withdrew $400 cash from the ATM  machine at the 'pole-dancing palace'.

Finally, at around 4 AM, Young and Rubinson decided to call 9-1-1 to report that they thought their friend my be dead. The cops quickly responded and indeed, found Jeffrey Jarrett's deceased body in his home. Needless to say, both men were taken in on suspicion, and were not charged with Jarrett's death, but they do face charges of, get this, abusing a corpse, identity theft, and criminal impersonation. 

Now, I can't condone ever doing this with your dead friends, but now that you know the story, how can you not laugh. Do I think that it was the wrong thing to do? That's an obvious yes, but the hilarity in what these guys did cannot go unnoticed. Why do people think that they can get away with stuff like this? What makes people act the way that they do? Stupidity really makes me laugh, and this is a prime example of it. It's almost like watching my own hilarious reality show! Thank you, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson for making me laugh this weekend, you idiots!
