Why I don’t watch the news

Earlier this evening I was watching the news, like I do once or twice a year, and I was reminded why I don’t normally tune in to the local news. They were doing a story on car/deer accidents. Apparently this year there has been a high case of car accidents caused by deer running across the street. So the city is looking to find a solution. I assume a group of people sat around and brainstormed some ideas. I’m also going to go out on a limb and assume there was some beer and possibly some reefer at this gathering. Why? Because the idea they came up with was urine. Yes, you read that right, urine. They want to spray urine from deer predators up and down the roads. How would you like that job?

Some expert that was interviewed for the piece said that won’t work because urine contains salt and salt attracts deer. But somebody else said that hunters use doe urine to attract deer so why wouldn’t it work.

I think everybody is totally missing the point. THEY WANT TO SPRAY URINE ON THE ROADS. Ummm….ICK! Remind me never to go barefoot in this town. Ever.

  1. Nice. Very nice. Bet that smells lovely on a hot summers day.

  2. We must live really close together because that story was on my news this morning. (I watch it while on the treadmill). I had to laugh at the urine thing. And then they suggested fencing off all the roads. He he he. I am not paying for that.
