Railway sleeper

Pranksters took their revenge on couch potato Gerle Kittler when he nodded off on the sofa during a friend's party.

They wheeled still-sleeping Gerle, 25, and the sofa more than a mile to the local railway station and put him on a train after buying a single ticket for him and a bike ticket for the settee.

He woke up on a platform four miles down the line in Warngau, Germany, still stretched out on his couch being quizzed by police.



"I always sleep like a baby so I didn't notice anything until the cops shook me awake and demanded my ID. I thought I was in the middle of a bad movie," said Gerle.

A second rude awakening came when he realised he had no cash and his mobile battery was flat.

"I ran four miles home and went straight back to bed," he said.
