Now THIS is what I’m talking about! It’s cracking me up.
According to this, two old dudes in Germany escaped their nursing home to attend Wacken Open Air, which is apparently the biggest heavy metal festival in the world. Yes, really.
The nursing home realized the two men were missing and alerted the police. They eventually found them at the festival at 3 a.m. FOR REAL.
A police spokeswoman said they were “disoriented and dazed.”
Well, it’s heavy metal so…
The men were reluctant to leave the four-day festival so police escorted them home with the help of a taxi and a patrol car.
“They obviously liked the metal festival,” police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told public broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk. “The care home quickly organized a return transport after police picked them up.”
Cops found 2 elderly men missing from retirement home at 3am at Wacken Open Air, the world’s biggest heavy metal festival (being the only ones yelling, “Turn it up!”) They were disoriented, dazed & reluctant to leave. That described everyone there!

"Police told the Deutsche Welle the men were found 'disorientated and dazed.'"
So they fit right in, then.

It's probably one of few things they could hear without their hearing aids.😄
