Ohio Man Attempts To Recreate Classic Joke But Forgets Punchline Just As He's Arrested

Damn. He went to all that effort and then blew it.

He was good on the set-up: He had sex with a dead woman, claiming, straight-faced, he didn't realize she was dead.

But then, at his moment of glory, as the police come to arrest him, he tells them...

... that he tried to perform CPR and also called for an ambulance.

I don't get it. It's too subtle for me.

JOKE FAIL.

Thanks to Slublog.

More to the Story: Rocks either has a different article about this, or is making some (quite plausible) inferences; either way, seems like there's more to the tale.

According to him she was not dead when they started and they don't hold you on half a million bond for necrophilia. They think he killed her, probably during sex, but don't have the facts yet. So, they charged him with this instead to hold him till the forensics come in. Expect murder charges and a defense of rough sex.

Update: Apparently, he videotaped the liaison, then tried to hide the camera from cops.

So, he'll be released, obviously, as I'm certain that videotape will prove his story to the final detail.

The only thing that could make this story more unappetizing is if it turns out to involve this man and his dead sister or, maybe, Tom Sizemore and anyone else.
