**BREAKING: Deer Goes Wild at Local Nail Salon, Gets Stuck in Bathroom**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of rural Missouri scratching their heads, a deer somehow managed to get itself stuck in a bathroom at a local nail salon on Tuesday afternoon.
According to eyewitnesses, the deer, identified as a 3-point buck named “Bucky” by salon staff, wandered into the “Nail Bliss” salon in the small town of Oakdale, Missouri, around 2pm. Witnesses described the scene as “surreal” as the deer calmly strolled in, seemingly intent on treating itself to a day of pampering.
“I was getting a pedicure when suddenly, there’s a deer just chillin’ in the waiting area,” said local resident, Karen Jenkins. “I mean, I’ve seen some weird things in my time, but this was something else.”
Apparently, Bucky had other plans. After helping itself to a mini-massage table in the corner of the salon, the deer decided it needed a little extra relaxation time in the ladies’ bathroom.
“I tried to shoo it out, but it just wouldn’t budge,” said salon owner, Debbie Lee. “Next thing I know, it’s locked itself in the bathroom and I’m hearing muffled bleats and scratching sounds coming from inside.”
Panicked salon patrons called 911, and soon, police and animal control officers arrived on the scene to find Bucky wedged in the bathroom stall, hooves splayed out in every direction.
“It was like it was trying to give itself a manicure,” said Officer Mike Wilson, who responded to the call. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, who gets stuck in a bathroom stall?”
After a tense standoff, officers managed to coax Bucky out of the bathroom using a combination of gentle whispers and strategically placed bags of animal feed.
“It was a real team effort,” said Officer Wilson. “We finally got him out, but not before he left a little present on the salon floor.”
The deer, shaken but unharmed, was released back into the wild, where it reportedly made a beeline for the nearest forest.
As for the salon, business is booming – with many customers flocking to see the “Deer-in-the-Bathroom” memorial plaque now displayed proudly on the wall.
When asked for comment, Bucky was unavailable, but sources close to the deer confirm that it has since booked an appointment for a “deer-icure” at a nearby wildlife spa.
**UPDATE**: The “Nail Bliss” salon has announced plans to offer a new “Wildlife Wellness” package, complete with deer-sized massage tables and an ” Animal-icure” special.
