Put large rubber snake in trunk.

Make sure to curl snake's body to make it look as though it is about to strike.

For best effect, I suppose you could rig up some sort of sensor to play a recording of a rattlesnake rattle (assuming people in Baltimore's urban sprawl have ever heard a rattler) when the trunk is opened. That might cost you more than the lights are worth, though.

Rig a maglite to explode as soon as it's tilted, that'll teach the buggers a lesson. Just go easy on the explosives.

That would be great fun when driving on bumpy or hilly roads.

Though I do normally recommend responding to theft with lethal force, this isn't one of those times. Blowing up your car to spite the thief just costs you the car, which is bad unless you're James Bond.

Oh, I ran over another deer tonight.

Except it was already dead and on the far side of the road, so I wound up crushing its head. I would have gone wide, but there was an oncoming car and I didn't feel like getting in a head-on collision. Or stopping. So, hey.

The other day, a Jeep driving in front of me slowed to about 5mph to cross a set of railroad tracks. In my '88 Honda CRX, I usually take those same tracks at about 40mph. I don't get it. Must be a Jeep thing...

"If we buy the "it was already dead" story."

Practically! And perhaps philosophically as well, which is good enough in Sir Snay's book! [Smile]

Maybe the driver was showing common sense and making sure a train wasn't coming. They do that on occasion, you know.

Why, you ask? Because who wants to die because the guardbars failed to come down.

"Damn, look at the Honda CV get smashed by a train!"

I suppose, if we assume that we do indeed live in a quantum universe, that cause and effect may not necessarily follow in that order - in effect, the deer may already have dead before it was actually killed by Snay hitting it. The deer could even be Schrodinger's Deer - it exists simultaneously in a state of dead and not-dead, and you can't say for certain which until Snay hits it.

It was quite clearly dead already.

It would be like if Rob shot some dude ten times in the chest with his .45 and left him on the road for a couple days, then I came along and ran over his head with my Jeep. He was already dead, but I certainly didn't help his case any, now did I? Can't be a zombie without a head, can he?

He could be a headless horseman, if he had a horse.

It is very clear that he was going to ride upon the deer.
