STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — They rarely have problems with drunks or rowdy animals, but residents of a retirement home in southern Sweden had to deal with both: 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, said employee Anna Karlsson.

Police managed to scare them off once, but the tipsy 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, police chief Bengt Hallberg said. No one was hurt.

Thank you!!!

You have no idea how much I needed a good laugh and for some reason this story just cracked me up. I am not sure if it really is that funny of a story, but something about it made me laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes.

Thanks.

I read this yesterday. Too funny. I love that they returned even more rowdy and drunk. Nice to see that the effects of alchohol are pretty much the same for moose as opposed to humans.
