Bad day for Badger



Earlier, I confessed my strange collecting habits.  I have found another great photo worthy of my collection, even though the animal is not road kill, and even though no painted line is involved.  Apparently, this animal didn't even die.

I checked Snopes and couldn't find a report verifying the story.  As rumored, the farmer cut the dazed animal free, risking his hands to do so.  I just love the picture.  It sums up a really shitty day.

The late comedian Mitch Hedberg told a story about a catch and release fish after his return to the water.  He gets to his meeting and his friend fish says, 'Bob, you're late!'  Bob says, 'Damn!  I got caught!'.  The friend replies, 'Bullshit!  Let me see your lip!'  Imagine the disbelief of this badger's friend when he tells him why he's late, 'Shit!  I got rolled up in a giant hay bale and some man had to cut me loose!'  'Bullshit!'

You see how my mind works?  You see why these pictures give me so much pleasure?
