Who says that Nebraska isn't exciting....

Norfolk, Nebraska-

So, exactly how do you stop a charging deer in a Wal-Mart? You take away its credit card.

Shoppers at the Wal-Mart here wish they could have thought of that. It would have been a whole lot easier.

A deer without a grocery list entered through the doors of the supermarket part of the store Thursday.

The store's greeter didn't see the deer enter through the exit, but she did see the critter when it hit the slick floor and fell. It quickly recovered and went scurrying down the aisles.

After doing a little looking around, the deer was tackled by a customer. Others of the human persuasion then tied the deer's legs so it couldn't kick, placed it in a shipping cart and pushed it outside.

Officials took the animal to nearby Ta-ha-zouka Park and released it.


***That is even more exciting than the time one of Hartman's llamas got loose and ended up down at the manor where the old people formed a circle around it and then Mrs. Rathe from across the street grabbed it by the neck. Ah, good times!***

It's exciting here in NYC too...in fact when Sheila the sheep escaped from the slaughterhouse and made her way down the FDR she shut down traffic for over an hour while cops tried to catch her...Damon the Daiman kept people out of the Harlem Meer in Central Park because people claimed he was an alligator he's on display in the zoo now...and just last week in the meatpacking district two carriage horses knocked over their carriages and escaped through the city streets until NYPD had to LASSO them...wild, wild, EAST I tell ya!
