Choking the ol' kangaroo...

It sounds like a weird euphemism, but it's actually a news item from the northern Nashville 'burbs, where a Tennessee man strangled his neighbor's kangaroo. Literally.

The neighbors went onto the fenced-in property, where the female neighbor was assaulted by the kangaroo. The husband then stepped in, strangling the kangaroo.

Man, you don't get to write news stories about choking the neighbor's marsupial just every day. You want to savor that assignment.

Can you imagine the conversation amongst the dispatcher and responding po-po?
