Moose Riding

An interesting story that was told by the groom's brother at the wedding a few weeks ago when we asked him how work was going (he works at a resort close to the border with Canada):

"Well, there's not much to do up there on our time off. And they work us crazy long hours, I'm up at 4AM regularly. We went out last weekend, we usually just cruise around in the car, drink, smoke, goof off. So we were out drinking and looking for some moose. We finally found one and decided that it'd be pretty awesome if I rode a moose. So, I got unto the roof of the car and we got along side the moose and I jumped unto it's back. I lasted about 10 seconds and then fell off. The moose wasn't too happy."

I'm usually a skeptic, but I hardly doubt this story at all since this is the same boy who a) accidentally got a machete in his foot b) got a thorn caught in his eye lid while hacking through some brush c) unicycles OFF of walls, buildings, etc. d) climbs stuff without safety cables e) is just plain crazy and was probably high out of his mind when he rode the moose.
