Wouldn´t be caught dead - Tradução em português
Hi...
I´ve just read a joke in a Speak Up magazine and couldn´t translate.
Could someone help me?
I wouldn´t be caught dead with a necrophiliac.
I think i could understand the joke but not entirely...
And i don´t even know if it´s possible to translate...
if someone wouldn't be seen dead in a particular place or doing a particular thing, they would never do it, usually because it would be too embarrassing.

Any mistake pointed out will be appreciated (especially prepositions)...
Thanks
