You might not want to go to the Middle East.

No, I'm not going to run a red light and move into the intersection with moving cross traffic just to give you room so that you can make an illegal left turn into a do not enter zone. Read the ####ing signs you dumb ####. Jesus ####ing Christ, what kind of morons are the City of Calgary hiring to drive their buses full of people?

Get out of the car and do the chicken dance until the light changes. Queue up the background music to play through the car speakers.

I have lost count on how many birds I have hit, it’s like I have a bird magnet for some reason. I travel once a month from Edmonton to Fort Nelson and on one of the trips I hit seven birds.(and yes I do feel bad about it but what do ya do)

I’ve only done this once as well, many years ago while driving to a field site. And I still remember how awful I felt.

That was honestly hilarious. I mean...what are the odds?

Besides, its not like we're running out of birds. Theres lots more where they came from.

I can't even imagine what was going through his head after that other than "WTF??"

I hit a skunk once on a highway late at night, what a terrible smell that left in the truck for the next week. The stink just seeped into the truck from the wheel well. I threw on a tyvek jumpsuit when I washed the skunk chunks off.

I once caught a bird in a rental motorhome in that gap between the top of the cab and the bed overhang. That sucked to remove.

Car in front of me hit a seagull once. I watched the thing arc through the air directly toward my windshield, in complete disbelief. I swerved and took my side mirror clean off. No one would believe me but you could see feathers stuck in the dangling wiring.

Witnessed a duck get run over by a car. Not with the wheels, but just a flurry of feathers emanating out as the car passed over it.

If you haven’t cleaned parts of a bird or a deer out of your front end, have you really lived?
