Semi-rural Australia
I'll preface this by saying that not all Australia is rural, or even semi-rural.
That said: My co-worker was just talking to our supervisor, and mentioned they have a dead horse in their driveway. Again.
She was asking our supervisor if he knew what city service you call to remove a dead horse.
(4:16pm, update -- Overheard, telephone conversation; not funny, but I snorted anyhow)
"Hi! I'm calling about the removal of a dead horse..."
"No, no -- we don't own it -- it's a neighbor's horse..."
"I'm not really sure what she'd want done with it. I mean, I'm not sure what the options are, besides taking it away..."

Once when we were hiking in the Lake District in England, we came across what appeared to be a dead horse. Turns out he was just taking an afternoon nap.
For dark comedy, you can't beat a dead horse.
-K.
A dead horse in my driveway would throw me into a fit of depression that would last for weeks.
At least, in Australia, you don't have to deal with any dead squids in your driveway. Not that that's a problem for us average sorts of folks either, that is...
