I can just see it now: Billy-boy, going along the small country roads in his huge SUV at his usual 90 mph, suddenly seeing a hedgehog right in front of his car. He only has a split-second to react. Thoughts whip through his mind like a mid-winter rainstorm... - What a cute little thing... A pity to squash it... On the other hand it sounds funny when you do... But wait, there was this sticker on somebody's car saying not to... Better not do it!!
And in the last remaining thousandth of a second he boldly forces the car to the side, and crashes into an oncoming minibus full of blind nuns on their way to Sunday service.
Five-year old nuns? What th'?
ReplyDeleteBesides, some animal-rights people wouldn't care about losing a busload of nuns and/or children. After all, that's so many less "parasites" to overpopulate the Earth and kill poor little animals.
You're right, that was too abstract. "Blind nuns" makes more sense.
ReplyDeleteFor your second point: exactly.
I am that hedgehog.........
ReplyDeleteI once saw a motorist swerve deliberately to flatten a hegehog. If I had a loaded gun in my hand he would have at least had punctured tyres.
