>A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the
>middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but
>unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The
driver,
>being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side
of
>the road, and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his
>dismay, the rabbit was dead.  The driver felt so awful, he began to cry. A
>woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road
>and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was
>wrong.

>"I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed
>it."

>The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her
>car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead
>rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.  Miraculously
>the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and
>hopped down the road. 50 yards away the rabbit stopped, turned around,
waved
>and hopped down the road, another 50 yards, turned, waved and hopped
another
>50 yards.

>The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in
>the woman's spray can!!   He ran over to the woman and asked, "What is in
>your spray can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"
>
>The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label:
>"Hair spray.  Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

>Then, there's this bear story that made me roar....
>In light of the rising frequency of conflicts between humans and grizzly
>bears, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters,
>and fishermen to take extra precautions, and keep alert for bears while in
>the field.  It is advised that persons wear noisy little bells on their
>clothing so that the bears will know someone is approaching, and not become
>startled.  It is also advised to carry a container of pepper spray.  It is
a
>good idea to watch for fresh signs of bear activity.  One should know the
>difference between black bear droppings and grizzly bear droppings.  Black
>bear droppings contain lots of berries and rabbit fur. Grizzly bear
>droppings contain little bells, and smells like pepper.
