BERLIN - A German man drank too much, wet his bed and set fire to his apartment while trying to dry his bedding, police in the western town of Muelheim said on Monday.

He was too drunk to go to the toilet, said a police spokesman. The next morning he put a switched-on hair dryer on the bed to dry it and left the apartment. When the 60-year-old returned, his home and belongings were in flames.

Firemen eventually put out the blaze.

In some twisted way, I'm thinking of a bad Match Game question gone bad.  It would be something like this:

Gene Rayburn:  Frederick the German  was soooo drunk . . . .
Crowd:  How drunk was he?
Gene Rayburn: Frederick was so drunk that he couldn't make it to the toilet, wet his bed, turned on a hair dryer to dry the bed, left the dryer on the bed while he went out, and burnt down his apartment.  THAT's how drunk Frederick was.
