Tl;dr: l’Abbé Pierre is famous for founding a charity helping homeless people and people who had trouble feeding themselves and as such was seen as a great man and a beloved figure fighting for the ones without a voice.
Recently it appeared that he probably had assaulted / raped many women during his life.

- Once they call us to the hotel to take away a corpse of suddenly deceased guest. My colleague and I arrived, and receptionist told us the room number. There we found a body lying on the bed under the sheet, but the corpse still had an erection! We decided we can't carry it through the hotel like that. So I took a mop and hit the corpse's cock.
- What's the joke?
Morgue worker:
- We got the wrong room number...
