Drunk Badger Disrupts German Traffic

This is easily the funniest title of the week.
Jim from bRight & Early sent me this and I am still laughing. I thought being a cop in Philly was tough. The last thing I would want to do is be one in Berlin – home of the irate badgers.

BERLIN – A badger in Germany got so drunk on over-ripe cherries it staggered into the middle of a road and refused to budge, police said Wednesday. A motorist called police near the central town of Goslar to report a dead badger on a road — only for officers to turn up and discover the animal alive and well, but drunk.
