Drunk badger
I found this on Reuters today
"BERLIN (Reuters) - 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 on 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.
Police discovered the nocturnal beast had eaten cherries from a nearby tree which had turned to alcohol and given the badger diarrhoea.
Having failed to scare the animal away, officers eventually chased it from the road with a broom.

Olivia, some enterprising individual should turn this into a new source of badger hair brushes in Germany! Ferment some cherries, leave them our on your porch, wait for badger to get drunk as a skunk, then shave 'im!

omg, that would be a whole new branch!
Thank you! The economy crisis sounds half as scary now.
Maybe they'll even learn and bring buddies to their badger barber for a blast!

A sober badger is bad enough. I wouldn't want to mess with a drunk one.

I would pay money to watch someone "attempt" to shave a drunk badger. That, I imagine, would be quite entertaining.
