Subject: animal stories >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.
