Drunk called ambulance for lift home
A Japanese man has been jailed for repeatedly calling an ambulance to take him home after going out drinking.
Satoshi Nakagawa, 55, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison after trying the tactic 50 times a year, reports the Mainichi Daily News.
Judge Hidenaga Manabe said: "He committed a selfish crime by obstructing the highly urgent duties of ambulances."
The final straw for Nakagawa came last June when he was sitting down on a road in Takamatsu and asked a passerby to call an ambulance for him.
An ambulance dispatched by a local fire station arrived, and Nakagawa demanded that paramedics take him home.
The ambulance, however, headed for the fire station, not his home, which prompted Nakagawa to poke one of the paramedics in the cheek.
Nakagawa had called for an ambulance about 50 times a year since August 2003, police said

And then there's this guy....
Tourist 'fed beer and ice cream to tiger'
A drunken American tourist has been arrested for breaking into a zoo and feeding stolen beer and ice cream to a tiger.
The man allegedly stole beer and ice cream from the zoo shop and, as well as giving it to the tiger, drank so much himself that he passed out.
The 26-year-old was found by keepers the following morning, still out cold, in front of the panda cage in Munich's Hollabrunn Zoo.
He has been charged with trespassing, theft and animal abuse.
I bet this guy was from Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah.....:D ;)
