Sleepy salesman loses vital documents on train

A drunken salesman lost a 2-million-yuan ($290,000) money order after nodding off on the train home.

The man, a sales manager for a firm in Changchun, Jilin province, had been returning from a work trip to Yancheng, Jiangsu province, where he had enjoyed dinner and a lot of drinks. He had left his luggage under a hard sleeper bunk before going to snooze in the dining car. But when he awoke he had no idea where he had left the order and called the police.
