On the highway coming into town there's a strip of rubber blown from one of the those giant truck tires. It's been there for a couple of weeks, perched almost at the top of a hill, looking twisted and rubberish as you pass by.
Except when you see it coming up the hill. Then it looks like a duck.
A perfectly fine duck, an alive duck - possibly drunkenly wandering too far out of its pond? Every day I pass by, thinking things about Superman and t-ball (Why yes, the kids are in the back, how could you tell?) and get a shock when I see it.
That poor duck! It's going to get hit! Ack! Must swerve! Then...ohhhhh. And I call myself all sorts of a twit and drive on.
This morning I was a few minutes early, so I stopped and prepared to kick it into the underbrush.
Aiming, I was startled by a voice coming from a car behind me:
"Hey, what are you doing to that bird?"

I once mistook a big stick in the road for a dog. A live dog. And I spoke to it while driving and told it to get out of the road. And then I felt very stupid.

And you told him ,of course, that you were merely feeding it some bread, and what business of his was it anyway?
Funny! I hope you brake for squirrels too.

I thought a big huge burned down tree stump was
A
Bear.
I ran screaming away from it, yelping BEAR BEAR BEAR!
So you and your bird?
Not so silly.
As my vision worsens, I see animals everywhere. But I know now to keep my opinions to myself.
You did miss an opportunity to completely freak somebody out - you could've flung that 'corpse' at him!
