Police: Drunk Pa. Man Tried To 'Revive' Opossum

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) ―

State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen giving mouth-to-mouth "resuscitation" to a long-dead opossum along a highway.

Trooper Jamie Levier says several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe, of Brookville, near the animal along Route 36 in Oliver Township Thursday about 3 p.m. The trooper says one person saw Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance, while another saw the mouth-to-mouth attempt.

Levier says Wolfe was "extremely intoxicated" and "did have his mouth in the area of the animal's mouth, I guess."

Oliver Township is about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Two thoughts come to mind....... How does one live down the embarrassment of such an event? And do you reckon this dude thought this possum was the weather prognosticating Punxsutawny Phil, hisself?
