'Corpse flower' bloom could stink up Texas wedding' -
From MSNBC - "The flower girl at Jessica Zabala's wedding is purple, six-feet-tall, uninvited and smells like dead bodies.
She is Lois, a rare "corpse flower," deemed the world's stinkiest bud.
Lois is unexpectedly blooming in the Houston Museum of Natural Science, in the room right next to where Zabala is marrying Jonathan Smith on Saturday.
"I don't need a florist anymore," Zabala laughs. "I've got Lois."

But in short, the flower looks like it is getting ready to burst and if it should, the smell would ruin a very happy day. Neither the museum or the couple could have known or anticipated this so they're all crossing their fingers.
AND this one:
Beer in Dead Animals -
"You'd expect a lot from a bottle of beer costing $765. What you get is 55 percent alcohol — and served in a squirrel."
Think of the dead animal as a beer cozy - surrounding the bottle of this overly expensive beer.

Having a husband and brothers who love beer and a brother who is a trained taxidermist, I could help but laugh and consider the options.
We could have Tom (the brother) make the cozies and then Matt (the husband) put any number of beers within. I am thinking that more common beers (such as Coors or Bud) would be best served in a common animal such as the squirrel but for more exotic beers (such as can be found at our local beer place) in more exotic animals such as a - koala???
I KNOW, I KNOW - eeewww and gross and so inappropriate but growing up with six brothers I couldn't help myself. I just started laughing and thinking how I could work this into my stand-up routine.
I won't pursue the business of the beer cozies or as a stand-up comedian but I will give you the site to one of the best places in the country to buy beer and it is only 3 miles from my house. My family is only to happen to visit us when they come and visit it -
