"A woman described today how her bargain-hunter husband died in a freak
accident.  She told reporters that her husband, who was only 47, bought 9
duvets and 9 pairs of pillow cases on Monday.  Then on Tuesday returned to
the same shop and purchased 5 pairs of bath sheets.  He was putting them
into a high cupboard when the weight of the bath sheets caused the whole
pile to fall out suffocating the man almost instantly."

The headline on the read "Man killed in twin towels collapse caused by bed
linen".

"In the beginning was The Word,
and The Word was a pile
of poop because it was made by Channel 4
and had that bloke from Manchester in it."
