When Drunken Moose Attack

And here I thought my problems were bad. Looks like the elderly in Sweden have it way worse than me. Apart from not being able to put together their IKEA furniture, it seems that they have to deal with drunken moose as well. Why hasn't FOX jumped on this. If anyone can stretch out an hour with crap like this, it's them. But here's the news story in case you think I'm just making this up.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - 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.
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.
I hope we've all learned a lesson here. You're pretty much screwed if you live in Sweden. Except for that Swedish Bikini Team they have. I guess life there isn't that bad after all.
