I'm traveling with my family this week and we've opened up a hide-a-bed almost every night of our trip so far. My kids will attest to the fact that I've been known to fold up the bed while they're still in it! (Yes, I'm careful... my 10 year old loves it!) So I found this story particularly funny... uh... disturbing... er... I don't know. But classic!
A Russian woman in St Petersburg killed her drunk husband with a folding couch, Russian media reported on Wednesday.
St Petersburg's Channel Five said the man's wife, upset with her husband for being drunk and refusing to get up, kicked a handle after an argument, activating a mechanism that folds the couch up against a wall.
The couch, which doubles as a bed, folds up automatically in order to save space. The man fell between the mattress and the back of the couch, Channel Five quoted emergency workers as saying.
The woman then walked out of the room and returned three hours later to check on what she thought was an unusually quiet sleeping husband.
Police refused to comment. (Reuters)
So will I. :)
