Finally Drinking and Driving Saves a Life 

The Agitator has some great ones today. Man peed way out of avalanche:

A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.

But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.

He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.

Why he had that many bottles of beer in his car... I have no idea. And of course I don't want to encourage anyone to drink and drive. But come on, you have to laugh. You just can't make this stuff up.
