Dude

Donna wonders: Shouldn’t we be encouraging deer to cross the road in low-traffic areas rather than on highways?

Obama voter.

This has to be fake.

Obama voter.

Mark1971 on October 13, 2012 at 10:21 PM

Agreed.
Obama voters aren’t that intelligent.

I think she’s pulling people’s chains. This is a classic old joke, similar to “the light is better over here” punch line for the guy looking for his contact lenses.

They shouldn’t be allowed to jay-walk! We can’t – why should they?/judge who appoints lawyers for animals.

OldEnglish on October 13, 2012 at 10:34 PM

Yeah, like I’m going to take a non-deer’s word for it.

Seth Halpern on October 13, 2012 at 10:37 PM

What’s even worse are the falling rock signs. Why do they put those where the rocks will hit cars?

Mark1971 on October 13, 2012 at 10:38 PM

She must have called the show on a OBAMA PHONE.

Moesart on October 13, 2012 at 11:01 PM

Old, old joke.

Cannon Fodder on October 13, 2012 at 11:12 PM

What is needed is crossing guards…

Hog Wild on October 13, 2012 at 11:17 PM

They shouldn’t be allowed to jay-walk!

OldEnglish on October 13, 2012 at 10:34 PM

Which is why recommend red and white signs that say “The buck stops here”.

Silly me. Who’s gonna cough up all the doe for those signs?!

Shy Guy on October 13, 2012 at 11:32 PM

Wacky morning “zoo” radio. How… 80′s of them.

Oh, deer! :)

OldEnglish on October 13, 2012 at 11:37 PM

Shy Guy on October 13, 2012 at 11:25 PM

And with that, I think I’ll vamoose.

Shy Guy on October 13, 2012 at 11:41 PM

This is a prime example of an Ivy League grad.

Little Nell on October 14, 2012 at 12:18 AM

The joke is old and funny and the deer are always delicious.

BL@KBIRD on October 14, 2012 at 1:11 AM

This is the modern version of Play Misty For Me.

“The government can guide deer to lower traffic areas,” she says.

I don’t know. It sounds like classic government-can-do-anything progressivism to me. I’m sure she would go on to advocate for a small surtax on the rich to pay for the program.

Odysseus on October 14, 2012 at 6:51 AM

I’ve heard this same story a while back…maybe in the NY Post’s “Weird but True” column…? In that case it was an old man calling in about moving the deer crossing signs to a better location.

This has to be fake.

Mark1971 on October 13, 2012 at 10:21 PM

I thinking this kind of story happens more often than we know. There’s no shortage of real idjits out there.

JetBoy on October 14, 2012 at 7:11 AM

She asks why the government doesn’t make the deer cross highways in low population areas. Well if the government could control where deer cross the highway, wouldn’t North Dakota where she lives be about the best place to do it?

radjah shelduck on October 14, 2012 at 8:25 AM

I got a flat and had to pull over in the exact spot they placed “Soft Shoulders” signs and the jack was useless to me.

Why is it we even have to have “Falling Rock” zones?

I’m motoring along fine during a light rain and then come to a stretch where the DOT plays that “Slippery When Wet” game.

“Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” – wtf? Everyone along that road is an angry emeffer?

“Don’t Block The Box” – I don’t even want to go there.

ericdijon on October 14, 2012 at 8:42 AM

An obvious fake. she got to her point about the sign being the issue too quickly. She also is pushing the sign point a little too hard for a reaction from the host. She even stated that she has been on this mission for 2 years. If it were real she would have figured out her mis-direction on reality long ago. In addition, you can tell by the quality of the interaction with the host that she isn’t actually “slow”. It’s also a very old joke used on children for at least 3 decades. I have also pulled this prank on every member of my family, to which my son credits ME with this woman’s stunt. lol

It was fun to listen to though…

Amadeus on October 14, 2012 at 9:23 AM

I’m sure it’s a fake, BUT, it’s Fargo: so I believe this is possible.
This is where our (ND), liberal base lives, you know. ALong with Bismarck.

Badger40 on October 14, 2012 at 10:03 AM

Agree with the others. It’s a fake.

Shump on October 14, 2012 at 10:41 AM

Crossing Guard! YES!! that’s the ticket!!!
and a supervisor. and then a manager. and a few fence-construction engineers. and a book-keeper, and regional managers. and finally, when somebody decides there’s no money .. well — you know …

/same old story
