signs near schools. Still, I enjoy the same activity as Art - it's just a
bit riskier : )

in UK, the simple on a sign for any sort of zoo or wild-life park was an
elephant. recently there was a big campaign for more flexibility of this
simple, because of many disappointed visitors looking for elephants at
bird sanctuaries etc. ... !!

I have several problems with this:
1. If the deer don't know where to cross, they will cross just wherever
the hell they feel like it, and more will get hit.
2. It's a lot less fun to shoot at stop signs, especially when drunk.
Shooting at stop signs makes you get too close to the intersections where
the cops might be, and then you have to go to jail again for harmless fun.
Besides, out here the stop signs are few and far between, but the deer
crossing signs are about every half-mile.
3. If the deer are crossing just wherever they feel like doing it, how
will we know where to go to shoot them?
Finally, I'm annoyed by the fact that those signs are often false and
misleading. Every one I've ever seen has the silhouette of a whitetail
on it, but every deer I've taken within a mile of those signs has been
a mulie. I want my damned whitetail! Imagine the uproar if the highway
signs for other things were just plain wrong... you'd pull off for
gasoline, and instead find a restaurant. Or you'd pull off for food, and
find just a mailbox and a long drive to some old farm. That would cause
quite a stink, but leading us to the wrong deer nobody seems to care
about.
I blame the tree-hugging Bambi lovers. If it weren't for them, the

Idiots in the Neighborhood: I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had
a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request
the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: Many deer
were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.

I saw this and felt all could use a good chuckle.
It's off topic. If that bothers you - bummer.

In New Zealand we have zebra crossing.
one day I saw a dog walking alone the footpath until it got to the zebra
crossing then it crossed at it.
Does the dog think it is a zebra?
Would the dog like to grow up into a zebra one day???
or is it a dwarf zebra that lost it's strips?
or is it, that the dog thinks that motorist are so stupid they can not tell
the difference?
