A drunken student who could think of nothing better to do than climb a 100-foot pine tree was rescued early this morning by a team of firefighters in the British city of Cheltenham, about 90 miles west of London, according to a report by the BBC.

The student, whom authorities have thoughtfully declined to identify, attends the Gloucestershire College of Arts and Technology. After imbibing what a fire-department official described as “a skinful” of drink, the student removed his shoes, scaled the tree, and, implausibly, fell asleep. When he awoke, and decided that his hangover precluded a conventional return to earth, he did what any self-respecting student would do nowadays. He called in a rescue on his cellphone.
