    The deer crossing

    http://now.msn.com/fargo-woman-complains-about-deer-crossing-signs#scptmh


    Meet Donna, who has some problems. In the last few years, she's had several deer-related car crashes. With frustration reaching a tipping point, she called the Fargo, N.D. radio station Y94 to complain about deer-crossing signs. She asks why people place the signs in high-traffic areas. Shouldn't we be encouraging deer to cross the road in low-traffic areas rather than on highways? The radio hosts tried to explain the actual purpose of the signs, but Donna could not get it. She said, “The government can guide deer to lower traffic areas.”

          She must have had a great good laugh. It's a masterpiece of a prank call. Could not be otherwise, right?

              I take ot you've never been there, 'eh?

              Hint: the film 'Fargo' wasn't too far off.

              This one presents less of a problem -

                      Why did the deer cross the road?
