    My trunk is about 3-4 dead hookers big.

    Correction: dead hookers, not bodies.

    If you need a smaller unit of measurement you could also go to the dead baby, which is about 1/4 of a dead hooker.

    By that metric my trunk is about 12-16 dead babies.

    Correction - not bodies. It is measured in dead *hookers.

    • not pureed, chopped or otherwise altered to fit

    Ah good call, hookers aren't people.

    I don't know about that, but the ones worth worrying about are a more standardized size. Makes it more useful as a unit of measure.

    Top Gear demonstrated the problem of non-standardized units when they went to Albania.

    i was raised using the "1/2-hooker" as the standard. clearly GPS and i are not related.

    I fit in the trunk of my '91 Jetta and there was some extra room. I'm at least 1.5 x larger than 'good' hooker; so by that logic, a '91 Jetta can hold around 2 dead hookers.

    Is folded ok? Cause there's no way I'm getting a dead hooker, at least a non-small person one, in the trunk/hatch of the MINI otherwise.

    How many dead babies? That's about 1/4 the size of a dead hooker.

    My trunk I guess has a capacity of 1.

    See, that brings up a conundrum. dead babies are theoretically 1/4th of a dead hooker. So by that rationale, I should be able to quarter a hooker and throw it in there and test it. Problem is, we're not allowed to chop/puree/otherwise modify said dead hooker to get it to fit, and I fear that using dead babies would disqualify the measurement.

    Can we say dead cats instead of dead babies?

    What about vans and wagons? Can dead hookers be stacked up to the roof, or do they need to be positioned to remain under window level so that they don't attract attention?

    Clearly Miata is just big enough for one dead hooker. My Chevy Astro, with the way-back bench removed... I should be able to fit 20 or more and stay below the window line.

    The problem with this is, you've got some countries still using chloroformed stalker-victims, duffle-bags of evidence, and even the archaic unmarked brown-paper package.

    For reference sake,

    1 chloroformed stalker-victim = 1.2 dead hookers; 1 duffle-bag of evidence = 0.4 dead hookers; 1 unmarked brown-paper package = 0.1 dead hookers.

    If you have a proper candy van you shouldn't be able to see inside anyways.

    MKIV Jetta is a 2 1/2 DH trunk, when transporting I prefer to use the Grand Caravan with the second and third row seats removed. It's how I roll.

    What's the difference between a Bugatti Veyron and a pile of dead babies?

    I don't have a Bugatti Veyron in my garage.

    With the new cruise night car I just bought, I think I could single handedly rid most towns of the entire hooker population....

    On a hatchback.. does the back seat have to be up or can it be down? I am sure a saab hatchback can swallow quite a few dead hookers with the back seat up.. and just as many as the car above with it down
