OK, this one wasn’t just not in Wisconsin–it turned out to not even be true. But I wouldn’t have been shocked if it really had happened in Wisconsin.

And actually…it’s not even a terrible idea.

From the story:

“A plumber from Ireland, believe it or not, dug a tunnel from his bedroom to a local pub, located 800 meters away from his home. It took him 15 years to get it, and he came up with an idea after seeing the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”.The reason – his wife snoring extremely loud.

For the past five years, Patsy went to the pub every night at 11:00 pm and returned in one hour after midnight. His wife did not even think what her husband was doing and where he was going when she fell asleep.”

My favorite part?

“My wife always felt that I smelled of alcohol, and I answered that it was my natural scent.”

And apparently that excuse worked.
