I feel a rant coming on.


I will refrain. *:)
A deer taught me a real good lesson about braking and
maneuverability while towing.
Damn straight. *Around here, that's a real problem in the mornings and
late evening. *You just never know when the critters are going to come

Also renmember that when you see a deer crossing the road, there are
usually a
few more behind them that you haven't seen yet.


Hitting a steer running across the road is a lot worse.


Hitting a deer could total a car and kill occupants. What could be worse
than that?
Go learn to tie a bowline behind your back. That'll be some real useful
nautical knowledge for you to have.


The average deer around here weighs a couple hundred pounds. The average
steer weighs about 1200 pounds.

I hit a deer a few years ago. Did significant damage to the car. When I
was in college, a dorm mate hit a steer. It put him in the hospital for
five months and subjected him to years of reconstructive surgery.

Idiot. I sure hope you don't have children.- Hide quoted text -

Since you have decided that family is fair game. What does your wife
think of your girly posters? You did mention it a while ago, so let's
try to be consistent with your story.



You're projecting again, DimJim. The only poster with a woman depicted I
have hanging anywhere in the house is from the movie Casablanca, and it
is G-rated.

I never mentioned I had "girly" posters. This obviously is another of
your fantasies, like your fantasy about me being a draft dodger.

You don't have children, do you? The horror of the possibility of
inheriting your singular lack of IQ is...well, best left unsaid.

Just what everyone needs a house infested with roaches, and getting
eaten by termites.

She's lucky she doesn't have a white Lumina.
I do, and the paint is peeling off.
