You can see some squirrely things in this world.  But this one is right up there.  Can you hear the conversation at the local barbershop between Bubba and Ernest?<\/p>\n

“I’ll bet you a buck you can’t ride down the street on your bike with a deer on your shoulders”<\/p>\n

“I’ll be I can. Who do you think I am Bambi?”<\/p>\n

“Oh really? well prove it. You start riding and I will film you through my windshield riding along behind so you don’t get clipped.”<\/p>\n

“You’re on! My wife is never gonna believe you gave me a buck, your so tight.”<\/p>\n

“Ah come on, you know how deer you are to me. Besides, what else do we have to do here in Chitlin Switch Notch Vermont.” <\/p>\n

“Alright…. but your part in this is you have to roll down your car window as we ride and serenade me singin’  ‘Doe, a deer a female deer….’  You catch me drift.”<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately I do, but I am just glad I am not that deer.”<\/p>\n

“Why not?”<\/p>\n

“Would you like to ride down the road on a bicycle in the middle of winter buck naked?  I think not!” <\/p>\n
