We don’t have any “deer crossing” signs by us. They all say “deer xing”.
How do you pronounce that anyway? Is it ‘zing’ or ‘ex-ing’?
I have always said that Michigan was going to regret giving deer driver’s licenses.
Does anyone else count down the miles after a sign saying “WATCH FOR ANIMALS NEXT 57 MILES”? I’ll bet if I creamed an elk at mile 58 I’d get a new car on HIS dime.
THe airplane would weigh 23 times as much. 12 times more than it would be possible to fly
That foto reminds me of a neighbor of my brother in Tenn who put corn on the pavement in front of his house and then when a car hit deer he’d rush out and tell the person they had nothing to worry about if they kept on going and he’d then harvest the deer.
I remember when I was concerned for trains. Watch for trains the sign used to say. “Watch for your own damn trains” I’d call out as I headed on thru the intersection.
Of course they can read. Why else would people send Deer John letters?
I’m surprised deer haven’t taken up driving tractors.

You’re neither original or funny -as you posted it, it comes off as stupid - although the jokes that follow are somehow worth it.
Har! Har! Har! That’s mighty fawny!
My buddy was the State Trooper killed by a deer out east a couple years back. Hit it on his bike and died; passenger crippled for a while. And he isn’t alone - just the closest friend to me personally.
The problem is you are right – they are ALL OVER western PA; most of PA really. And there never is one where the deer actually cross regular: at least IMHO. Its like having the “Slow School Zone” lights on all summer — you start to ignore them and all of a sudden it’s “Shit! Whadda you mean schools been open all week?”
And wouldn’t it be ironic if their preferred brand was International Harvester or Case?
Sorry. The x is pronounced ‘cross’. So it’s crossing. Although as I child I assumed it was zing. I grew up in a suburb, so it was a legend painted on the street: SLOW - SCHOOL - ZING. They must have been really excited about their schools to paint the roads like that.
“Caution: Whoosh xing”
Still a decent excuse to reminisce. Speaking of reminiscing, you know, I inherited all of my father’s home movies. Let me tell you . . .
No, it was not original. Did I claim it was ? I’m funny. You’re just a common slug bereft of humor. Good luck with that incurable condition.
Do you think John Deere could implement a solution to the deer crossing problem?
Stealing someone else’s material, then insulting those who call you on it? Textbook example of being a jerk.

The OP’s schtick was already done by a lady in ND.
[/QUOTE]The schtick was done by pretty much everyone’s uncle growing up in the midwest.
I don’t see how it’s stealing if everyone who’s ever come across one of those crossing signs made similar jokes.
Is telling a chicken crossing the road joke stealing? If so I’m gonna need a cite as to who originally told it.
You ever notice how deer sometimes cross the road leading with their left hoof, but at other times the same deer cross the road leading with their right hoof? Wanna know why? It’s because they are bambidextrous.
