Slug lands on woman's face on night out and all hell breaks loose
Weird things happen on nights out. But, this moment from a night out in the UK really took things to new heights.
A Twitter video posted by Hayleigh Cassidy begins in a rather unusual way. As the scene opens, we see a paper plate featuring a live slug. As the paper plate hovers mid-air, a fellow party-goer pretends to kiss the slimy creature.
But, with one swift flick of the wrist, the slug is airborne and heading straight for the face of an innocent bystander.

The slug lands square on the poor woman's forehead and, for a moment, there's silence. The calm before the storm, if you will.
She sets down her drink and gathers herself for a fraction of a second.
Then, that's when it happens.
She lets out the most almighty, blood-curdling scream. It's like nothing you've ever heard before.
An important update following the posting of the video confirmed the sad news that the slug had departed this mortal coil. Very sad news indeed.

Absolute art is precisely what this is.
