“Lohan to Work in Morgue As Punishment”

From the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction department comes this AP story carrying the same headline as this post.  Here are more specifics:

Lindsay Lohan is about to see dead people. The 21-year-old actress will soon be working at a morgue as part of her punishment for misdemeanor drunken driving, her attorney, Blair Berk, told a judge Thursday.

She has also spent two months in rehabilitation and has done some community service, Berk said at a hearing on her progress toward fulfilling the terms of her plea bargain.  Her two four-hour days at the morgue are part of a court-ordered program to show drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving.  She must also spend two days working in a hospital emergency room.

After a long week, I cannot think of a good joke to go with this story.  Perhaps readers with more energy can lighten the morbid mood in the comments.
