tonight in vermont news:
- the police department in our state capital was called because a skunk was wandering down main street with its head stuck in a yogurt cup
- not wanting to risk getting sprayed, and unsure of how to remove a skunk from a yogurt cup anyway, the police googled “how to get a skunk’s head out of a yogurt cup”
- this led them to an article, published by Arizona police in 2015, titled How to Take a Yogurt Cup Off a Skunk’s Head Without Getting Sprayed
- using the method outlined in that article, vermont police safely caught the skunk, removed the yogurt cup, and sent the animal on its way
- they did this without anybody getting sprayed in the process
- “and then we recycled the cup,” vermont police wrote on their department’s facebook page, “so a win all around.”
this is so remarkably vermont that I just rubbed my hands down my face and said “fine. FINE”
Lived there. Can confirm.
