And finally… the last straw

A man was discovered dead in his home after having had sex with a scarecrow dressed as a woman, replete with wig, lipstick and a strap-on sex toy.

The decomposing remains of Jose Alberto were found at his home in San Jose de Balcare in Argentina after neighbours reported a stench coming from the building.

Police forced their way into the house only to find the 58-year-old shepherd dead.

Beside him lay the scarecrow.

A spokesman for the local prosecutor said: “I initially thought there were two bodies but then I realised one was a scarecrow wearing lipstick and a long-haired wig.

“It was lying next to the deceased and had a six-inch strap-on penis.

“There were no signs of violence and we are working on the assumption that the man died during sex with the scarecrow.

“Straw had been stuffed inside the old clothes that had been sewn together to make the scarecrow.

“We are now waiting the results of an autopsy.”

Mr Alberto’s neighbours said he was a loner.
