Voice From Coffin Sparks Leap Off Bus

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An Argentine man broke an arm and
a leg jumping from the roof of a moving bus after he was addressed by a
fellow passenger sheltering inside a coffin, the state-run news agency,
Telam, said Monday.

Mario Paz, 25, leapt from the bus when a farmer lying in the coffin
moved its cover to ask, ''Is it cold, sir?''

The incident took place in the northern province of Santiago del Estero
after the farmer, finding no room in the bus, climbed onto its roof and
then, to escape wintry weather, lay down in the coffin, which belonged to
a funeral company.

Paz also clambered onto the roof but left it abruptly when he thought a
dead man was trying to strike up a conversation, Telam said.
