A heavily intoxicated Pennsylvania man tried to resuscitate at dead possum lying along a highway, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported yesterday.

Donald Wolfe, 55, was spotted by a state trooper attempting to breathe life back into the dead animal around 3pm local time Thursday in a remote area north of Pittsburgh.

State troopers arrested Wolfe along an isolated stretch of the highway and charged him with public drunkenness, according to the paper.

Trooper Jamie Levier said Wolfe was “extremely intoxicated” and “did have his mouth in the area of the animal’s mouth, I guess.”

Another witness observed Wolfe kneeling near the dead animal and gesturing as though he was conducting a seance.

Wolfe will face charges of public drunkeness before a district judge in Jefferson County at an unscheduled date.

Police listed “society” as the victim of the crime.

Are we sure the possum wasn't playing possum?

One of the rare occasions on which the police have made me laugh deliberately

I wonder if he gave it a little tongue action ?

I'm sure his breathe smells even worse than before.

Clearly, this man is a hero.

I can't even imagine being THAT drunk.
