The oddest stories always start with: “First, we drank all these beers….”
The instant coffee a group of friends drank as they tried to sober up after a night out on the tiles tasted a bit odd.
Soon after, they found out why – when one of their companions told them: “That was no coffee – that was my grandfather’s ashes.”
The students had been staying at a country cottage in the Czech Republic when they made the grave error. They had assumed a tin full of grainy substance on the mantelpiece at Jakub Havlat’s cottage in the Czech Republic was coffee.
Only when Havlat returned to the room to discover his grandfather’s ashes urn was empty, did the students realise what they had done.
Now, if that wouldn’t sober up a person right away, I don’t know what would!

There was an episode of Night Court in which Harry the judge was keeping an urn of someone’s ashes while a custody dispute was going on. Someone, sure enough, fed the contents to the carafe, and “You were out of coffee, so I used that herb tea over there on the shelf.” Says Harry, of course, “That wasn’t herb tea; that was Herb.” Cut to Dan Fielding doing a spit take, and blackout.
