Turkish Boy Hit By Careening Car Escapes Unscathed |

Sure enough, just as I drew even with him, he darted out in front of me. I tromped the brakes and even though I'd slowed to only 25mph, I got him. BONK! It sounded just like that. But I didn't actually run him over.
Since I was going so slow and was able to slow even further, he got clunked good and hard. Goldie went flopping about three or four turns, got up and sprinted off the road, looking back at me with a "what the hell was THAT for?" sort of look. It made me want to go catch him and kick him for being so damned stupid.
He was bruised for sure, and probably pretty darned stiff for a day or two. But aside from a grand total of two extraordinarily indecisive/suicidal squirrels, I haven't run over any other animals.

My buddy then said, "hey look over there." There was old woman standing with the German Sheppard beside her on a porch looking at me in total shock. Well being the man I am I threw that Oldsmobile in drive and floored it. To this day I don't know if that was her dog, but I like to think it was.

I was in high school, and most high schoolers don’t’ make the best decisions, but I do believe to this day, putting the dog out of its misery was the right one. #muhammetdirlik

That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
Hell, I usually swerve to hit small animals. Especially pigeons. And gulls. And raccoons. I stay away from skunks, though, as running those over will stink up your car for weeks.

The Texas A&M Forensic Science Lab has an old CVCC they use to store roadkill. It's hard for me to walk within 20 feet of that thing.

And you're fifty miles away from where you started!
It's a win-win-win!

Well, my wife hit the skunk, but didn't realize that the impact had flipped it up and made it stick in the wheelwell of the truck. She drove along for the next several miles, wondering vaguely where that awful smell was, while the dogs in the seat next to her slavered and drooled and avidly snorfled the air vents trying to get a better whiff.
Up she comes to one of the many little towns of west North Carolina. This little town is apparently owned and operated by Shriners, since they are stationed at each corner of the crossroads and are armed with a button to change the color of the traffic light.
The Shriners see my wife approach. One pushes the button, and her light turns red.
She pulls to a stop. Center of gravity shifts, air blast goes away, something - whatever it is, the skunk becomes unstuck, and falls to the pavement with a splat and a stink.
Shriners hurry back to their corners, and push the button. Repeatedly. God only knows what might drop off the truck next.
Wife drives away. Dogs stop snuffling the air vents.

Kind of like yesterday, when I was driving to a vendor's office. I got caught at a light and stopped underneath the five freeway, and, lo and behold, on the sidewalk beneath the underpass, was a homeless guy wearing ragged clothes, looking as though he hadn't bathed or had a square meal in weeks, fiddling around with a Sony VAIO laptop and a Zune.
Only in America.

"Young Turks
get creamed
tonight!
Luck is on
your side!"
Further proof that turkeys can't drive.

I said, "No, by minding his own f*cking business."

I don't know why, I must have made a mistake, but this comment ended up in another thread.
