Most overplayed death scene ever...
Was the moment when I was standing in a pub with a mate who was well trollied and a bloke walked up with a bucket half-filled with change.
"Hi guys, would you like to donate a few coins to help bring a friend of ours home from Greece? He was killed while on holiday and his family can't afford to get his body home."
That's terrible, I say, what happened?
"Well he was riding a scooter with no helmet, came off the bike and slammed into the railing on the side of the road."
That's terrible I repeat.
"Then he flicked back into the traffic and was run over by a car. Then another car hit him and flipped him over the side of the road, down the side of a mountain back onto the road below into the path of a truck, that ran him over, another car hit him and he went back off the side of the road onto the rocks below and then into the sea."
At this point the mate of mine utterly lost it, laughing so hard he started to cry.
The poor guy with the bucket just wandered off.
