Worst Deer Story Ever

You're going to hate me for this, but I have to share this story.

I ran into a young lady that we used to know from Grass Valley, and she told me her story. As a preface, this young lady is a tall, thin, fine featured, pretty girl. She is quite girly. I couldn't see her out hunting or even camping, for that matter. I may misjudge her, but can I call her prissy?

So, she shares her story with me.... She was driving home to Fish Lake one day and just before she gets to the reservoir a deer runs out in front of her little car. Her dad had told her on many occasions that the most common and dangerous thing to do when about to hit a deer is to swerve, causing the car to roll. You should hit the deer, save the driver. Right. So just as she is about to hit the deer, she closes her eyes, takes her hands off the wheel (in case she instinctively swerves) and opens her mouth wide and screams.

The deer hit the front of her car, rolled up over the hood, gutting itself in the process. It and all its now fluid-like innards went through the windshield and all over the girl with her open screaming mouth. She had 2 black eyes and was covered completely with blood and guts. She was still screaming when the ambulance got there. They insisted on giving her oxygen. She said she thought it was to get her to stop screaming! Poor kid!
