Blood Has Been Shed, Jerry!

Two bodies were discovered in a used car office in Tampa on Saturday. Police aren't releasing any more investigation on who the dead people are, or how their bodies wound up inside a used car dealership in Tampa.

It's kind of a grisly, semi-amusing story that wouldn't normally be blogworthy. It did give me an idea for a funny headline that will only be appreciated by dorky people who remember obscure movie quotes.

But the part that really made me want to post the story was this quote from near the bottom of the article:

Maria Jose Acevedo said her boyfriend discovered the bodies. He stepped out of their car, peeked into the office and saw the body of a man, she said.

"He came back out running to the car,'' Acevedo said, speaking in Spanish. ``We called the police. I'm here on vacation, visiting, and this happens.''

She's just in town visiting, folks. How dare these people die and leave their bodies for some innocent tourist to stumble upon. It's just good manners to have your murdered corpse disposed of properly, for some local to find. That's the Florida Difference!
