    Move the deer crossing so the deer won't cross there

    http://youtu.be/RFCrJleggrI

    I have no words.

    O wait, yes I do. It's just that most of them are unprintable.

    edit: There is a followup video/call, in which the lady in question admits her own goofiness, to her credit. (she had grown up somewhere where this was not an issue, and it never occurred to her that the signs were warnings, not directions)

    Wowwwwwwww.....

    I believe it was Bill Engvall who quoted his wife as saying "Why do they put up those signs; don't they know deer can't read?"

    To their credit, a few of the urban deer here do use a crosswalk near my apartment to cross a busy road. I've witnessed them perform the feat on multiple occasions.

      I once had one (trailing deer in a set of three) stare at my car while I was waiting for it to cross...It did so after I flashed my hi-bream headlights at it ^_^

        Why move the deer crossing sign, when you could just erect a stop sign next to the deer crossing sign?

        That way the deer know to stop and look both ways before crossing. Duh!

          I had something similar with a group of three deer once. They were in a long driveway I had to drive up to get to my newspaper customer. Two ran one way, the other one ran the other way and then stood there with an anxious look on it's face, like it couldn't figure out how to get back across the driveway to get to its friends.

          Over the next couple weeks I saw what I think was the same group of deer in the area while out on my routes, and always with the one lagging or trailing off from the other two. I named it Derpy Deer.

            Not sure if trolling or just unimaginably stupid...

            Yeah, The ducks in my neighborhood look both ways before crossing the street, but you've got to be kidding me.

              I thought that was an urban legend....I remember somebody at work years ago telling that one.
