Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -
When I was a boy, I remember my father coming home late from work, because he had hit a badger.
He was on a motorbike at the time. I've no idea what happened to the badger (dad said it had scuttled off) but his bike was a right state, and he was a bit bashed up himself.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Know of a chap who arrived 2 minutes after a horrific RTA involving a young girly-girl (18 yo, first car a Fiat Punto, decked in girl racer pink fluffy sttering wheel, etc).
As he came around a bend in a wooded area in Suffolk, he had to slew to a halt pretty quickly, as a car was parked just around the bend, with hazards flashing and the driver walking back to the bend to warn oncoming traffic.
The driver asked him for assistance and said that there had been an accident.
Friend parked car on the verge with hazards on, walked round the corner, and witnessed a scene of apoocryphal carnage.
The Punto was totalled, from the front.
No other vehicle was in sight, which was really odd.
The trees either side looked undamaged.
Standing in the road, in a daze, was the girl, completely hysterical and completely covered, and I do mean drenched, in blood.
As my mate struggled to understand what had happened in this surreal scene, he saw the legs and body of a large buck, sticking out of the windscreen.
He then noticed the WWF stickers on the side windows of the Punto.
Tragic, and wonder if the girl ever got over that.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Originally posted by zeitghostAunt & Uncle of a chap I worked with were totalled by a horse that jumped out of a field.
The horse was totalled too.
Car driver furious, and tried to claim off horse insurance. Promptly told to look at what the Highway Code had to say about horses having priority. It was after all a country area with adequate road signs to that effect (beware cattle, beware sheep).Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
