Drunken Caped Invader
The people who wrote this letter seem much more understanding about a drunken home invasion than I would be. Drunk dude breaks into home wearing a cape and winds up urinating on the carpet and couch. Some people just call that Thursday.

Warning! Drunks Crossing the Street!
A Romanian town has a real problem with drunks getting runned over in the streets while they are staggering home, so they bought some of these signs.
From the Telegraph here:
Street signs warning Romanian drivers to be careful of drunken pedestrians lying on roads were erected by road safety chiefs worried about the “despairing” levels of accidents.
The 10 bright red signs were erected by worried road safety officials in popular areas of the town of Pecica, a village town about 13 miles from the Hungarian border in the country’s west complete with the phrase “Attention – Drunks”.
The 10 road signs, which also show a person crawling on their knees while clutching a glass in one hand, were erected in popular nightspot areas close to the city’s bars and restaurants.
