Dont remember if I mentioned it, but a few weeks ago I hit a deer on the highway. The stupid animule darted out in front of me and I couldnt avoid him. Banged up my fender, etc, etc....
Anycase. I'm sitting at work today and I get a phonecall from Officer Somethingorother from the NY State Troopers.
Him: Do you have hunting licence, sir.
Me: No. Why do you ask?
Him: Were you driving on such and such a highway at such and such a time and date?
Me: I may have been. What is this about?
Him: You are required to report to the local trooper barracks and fill out a statement.
Me: Of what?
Him: To explain leaving the scene of a crime. We have witnes statements and camera footage of you striking a deer and leaving.
Me: Is the deer pressing charges?
Him: This isnt funny sir. You are in violation of the Highway Hunting law which was passed by the State Legislature on May 15th.
Me: Pardon my ignorance but what does this saw say?
Him: That persons knowingly striking an animal in the roadway who do not carry a valid hunting license are in violation of state hunting regulation and must pay the applicable fine. From what we have seen on the camera footage and garnered from witness statements, the deer you struck would warrant at least a $850 violation.
Me: So the implication is that I struck this deer on purpose.
Him: We have camera footage showing you swerving into it.
Me: Perhaps I should hire an attorney.
Him: First I would suggest that you come down to the barracks and speak to Sgt. <insert the name of my soon to be dead friend here>.
My friend, who I always knew was completely insane, got his boss's brother (whom I've never seen and wouldnt recognize his voice) to call me. The guy was doing good too. Now I need to figure out a way to get back at the little rat bastard. [:D]
