Workmen painting white lines on a road left a gap for a dead badger because they said it was not their responsibility to move it.

The animal had been killed about a week before on the A338 near Downton, on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border.

Hampshire County Council said the workers did what they thought "was best" because it is the district council's job to remove carcasses.

I'm surprised they just didn't paint over it.

If British women were at least slightly attractive, with a semblance of intelligence, then this wouldn't have happened.

You know you'd be smarter if you wore high heels and slept naked.

I'm sorry a badger died, but this is funny.

Val is doing it right -- she's stuck at home in her boudoir, right where she should be as a woman.
