Judge found dead mouse in beer
A US judge is seeking compensation after finding the body of a dead mouse in a bottle of beer.
Judge Randy Anglen says he screamed and screamed when he saw the mouse - after finishing the bottle.
Anglen, a judge in Hollister, Missouri, drank the bottle of Miller Lite at home one night after finishing work, reports the News-Leader.
He drained the last bit into the sink, so he could put the bottle in his recycling bin, but heard a 'plop' as he put the bottle on his worktop.
When he peered into it, the first thing he saw was a long tail coiling around the inside of the bottle. Then he saw the rest of the mouse.
"The first thing I did was scream in horror. Then I screamed in revulsion. Then I dropped to the ground, holding my head in my hands while I was still screaming," he said.
"My wife ran in, holding our one-year-old, and she started screaming and the baby was screaming because she didn't know what was wrong with me. It was five minutes before I could regain enough composure to say: "Don't worry. I'm OK.""
Judge Anglen says a Miller representative told him to pack the bottle in dry ice and mail it to them, so they could determine if it was a mouse: "The first thing I said was, 'I'm an attorney, and that's the evidence."
He wants Miller to offer him an appropriate compensation for his emotional trauma.
"I'll do whatever they want including taking a lie-detector test," he said. "They need to know that I've got other things to do besides hatching a scheme to defraud Miller by putting a mouse in my beer."
He should be impeached for drinking that rot.
The funny thing is, he didn't notice any difference in taste.
The worm doesn't seem like such a bad deal after all.
What a slob. Use a glass.
I think the secret to the special brew is out!
"he screamed and screamed when he saw the mouse"
What is this jerk? sanfranciscan homosexual weenie?
Oh, it's just a new product.
After all, some tequilla have a big hairy caterpiller in the bottle.
This company is trying a mouse.
I don't believe him. Betcha he's a Clinton appointee.
'more filling'
Exactly how stupid are lawyers.....
He drinks the whole thing and he expects us to believe that he never felt the weight of the mouse flopping around!!!
How much money is he pushing for...
Either that, or the s.o.b. was just too damn drunk to notice.
Willard lives.
Nice they were able to "squeeze" him in. I'm sure the mouse was dead drunk.
His response: "I'm a lawyer" says it all. Appears he's going after deep pockets and dollar signs are in his eyes. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that he's lying up his ying yang for money.
