Racoon needs rescuing, Batavia PD en route

By Billie Owens

Somewhere in the City of Batavia a critter is stuck under something and the police are on their way to the rescue.

The cop says to dispatch he's going to help "Rocky the Racoon...the usuals can wait."

It's about priorities...when nothing more important is pending, of course.

Sorry, didn't catch the place, nor the object under which Rocky is stuck.

Since Gabor is MIA, I'll do it for him. This is not going to be my job though, it's still Gabor's. Just trying to help.

I couldn't think of anything for this one and I didn't want to upset animal lovers or PETA. ;P

I will mention that the male Raccoon is the only mammal with a bone in its penis.

If the raccoon needs resuscitation, please call Donald Wolfe.

Opossum Resuscitation Brings Drunk Charges

Pennsylvania Man Charged with Public Drunkenness after Being Seen Giving Mouth-to-Mouth to Long-Dead Roadkill.
(AP) Police say they charged a Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen trying to resuscitate a long-dead opossum along a highway.

State police Trooper Jamie Levier says several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe near the animal Thursday along a highway about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

The trooper says one person saw Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance. He says another saw Wolfe attempting to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Levier says the animal already had been dead a while.
