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.
This and all dem hurricanes and homosexuals. I's thinks God gonna end it soon.
First the Elks, then the Moose. And don't get me started on the Shriners!
The Grand PooBah said it was okay to drink.
My husband was once chased up a tree by a moose in Yellowstone Natl Park...he spent the better part of an hour up there, until the moose gave up and left...
He never did live that down...my kids always wanted me tell the tale of when their dad was chased by that moose...the hubby does not care to hear about it all the time, so he goes into the kitchen and drinks until the kids have gotten in their chuckles..
There's a new sheriff in town. Looks like ol' Bengt Hallberg ain't going to put up with no apple eating, old folks home menacing, drunk on their big hairy butts mangy sweedish mooses!
Same elk(s), same town, same police chief, just two different stories.
And Elk isn't a Moose...
Unless it's halloween... maybe?
I was bit by a Pelican once.
Actually, in this case, it is. The Swedish älg (pronounced "aelly," the word is related to our word "elk") is really a type of moose.
I'm staying with my halloween theory.
(I'm not in a good mood - must take sexual harassment training and have been failing all of the tests for thinking like a Conservative instead of a Liberal - It's taking me twice as long to get through.... Dang.)

It's a shame they didn't walk into a bar...
So, these two drunk moose walked into a bar, and the first one says,
"So where's the priest, the rabbi and the minister?..."
