Mom, Can I Keep Him?

A Zebra got away from it's home in Manhattan, Kansas, today, and Animal Control hung up three times on the person who called them because they thought it was a crank call! James Myers, a Fort Riley soldier, finally gave up on Animal Control and called the cops. They finally took him seriously: "They finally called the Riley County Police Department and an officer came out with a bag of carrots. Police were able to get in touch with the zebra’s owner who came to pick it up."...WIBW. Was it a standard issue bag of carrots from the police station, or did the officer stop at the grocery store? The article does not say; however, the article does say, "Ron Lichtenhan, with Manhattan Animal Control, confirmed that the zebra is privately owned by a Manhattan resident. He could not release the owner’s name or address and did not know the zebra’s name or age. Sources tell WIBW that the owner lives in the same neighborhood where their pet was found." What the hell?! The zebra's name or age??? Does he think the zebra has a social security number, too? A zebra will never tell you it's age! This is definately the funniest thing I've seen all day!
