How many of you read the title as "Town Drunk"? It could be town drunk who gets dunked but it is more likely to be a town politician. Trento,Italy puts on an event in the second half of June called Tonca to celebrate St. Vigilio,the patron saint of the city. One of the main events is the Court of Penitence where famous figures of the city are put on trial for disgracing themselves. Those who are not found innocent are put in a cage and dunked in the river,not to worry it's mainly for fun and they are hauled back out without incident though I wouldn't mind seeing a few politicians dunked and maybe not brought back up too quickly.
