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."
LOL. I always say if I wanted to drink a lite beer, I'd put an icecube in it.
A John Edwards fan, I'd wager.
Don't know if this is true of all low-carb beers but the one I saw this Mardi Gras in Louisiana (Miller Ultra) came in 10 oz. cans. I think this is really how they get the carbs lower than lite beer, smaller serving size.
I wouldnt have screamed....woulda puked for sure though.
let me guess, Clinton appointed judge?
Ummm, doesn't Miller come in a CLEAR bottle?
Yep!

Oh, I'm getting whiplash from my burps, eh?
[Bob tinkers with projector, and knocks the reel off]
Doug
Aw, nice going, you knob!
Patron [off camera]
Hey! What kind of movie is this?
Doug
Ok, uh, here's how to get, zoom in on me, eh? Zoom in on this! [camera
zooms to a beer bottle with a mouse in it] Ok, here's how to get free
beer, eh? Get a baby mouse and, like, put it in a bottle, and when
it's so small it will fit in, like, this hole, eh?
"I'd kiss you, but I've got puke breath, eh!"
Hahaha...nice...
This guy's a judge?
The guy's an emotional wreck, if he broke down twice, and then panicked his wife and traumatized his one-yr. old with his screaming.
Imagine his reaction on the bench, as a judge, to autopsy photos in a murder case!
My guess: they are in deep financial problems, and need the Litigation Lotto to bail them out, or he his shorting stock in Millers. OR.. he's just an emotional wreck attorney. I vote for #3
I think this is better than I read the title, Judge found dead in mouse beer. Oh well, another day.
LOL!!!!!!
You lose.
He's not a federal judge.
He's not a state judge.
He's a ----- municipal judge.
OMG.... Suddenly "STrange Brew" comes to mind... Now I need to find that movie and watch it again!
And all along I though it was the liquid givings of "bunnies" that made Miller beer distasteful.
