Dead dad requests refund from MBTA

MBTA police have uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud by scofflaw riders who submitted heaps of phony refund requests on behalf of deceased relatives, unwitting friends and even a pet golden retriever named Max, T officials said.

They uncovered fraud by a Rhode Island man who submitted refund requests in the name of his deceased father.

The headline on the print version even used the actual phrase "dead dad." If anyone has a copy they can scan, please do so and submit it!

DEAD DAD DAY

I wake up this morning and think, "it's Dead Dad Day." I decided I would take a drive over to the cemetary and pay him a visit. At first, I was thinking that I should stop at the florist and get flowers to bring, but my dad would not have entirely appreciated that. Though he was a great gardener, he thought flowers were pretty gay. That's just the way my dad was. Then I thought, "some very thoughtful friends gave me a beer the other day that would be perfect for my dad!" After all, he's dead. I don't think the alcoholism is an issue any more. So, I brought my dad a beer.
