Two Drunken Moose Invade Home for Elderly
2005-11-08
They rarely have problems with drunks or rowdy animals, but residents of an elderly home in southern Sweden had to deal with both when a pair of intoxicated moose invaded the premises.
Shocking. You expect to see this kind of behavior with Shriners, but Moose are normally much more civilized.
The moose _ a cow and her calf _ had become drunk over the weekend by eating fermented apples they found outside the home in Sibbhult, southern Sweden, said Anna Karlsson, who works there. Police managed to scare them off once, but the large mammals returned to get more of the tempting fruits. This time the moose were drunk and aggressive, forcing police to send for a hunter with a dog to make them leave. Police did not pursue the culprits, but made sure all apples were picked up from the area, local police chief Bengt Hallberg said. No one was hurt.

#2  BPOE, call your office. Heh.

There was a cute story about a week ago in Georgetown. A deer wandered into the shopping district, walked right into one of the upscale clothing stores, headed for the back of the store and began challenging the other buck it suddenly saw in the mirror. I give the store clerk a lot of credit for assessing the situation properly and doing the right thing; he turned off the lights. The mirror deer went away and the store deer lost interest and left.
