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?

"I'll bet you a buck you can't ride down the street on your bike with a deer on your shoulders"

"I'll be I can. Who do you think I am Bambi?"

"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."

"You're on! My wife is never gonna believe you gave me a buck, your so tight."

"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."

"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."

"Unfortunately I do, but I am just glad I am not that deer."

"Why not?"

"Would you like to ride down the road on a bicycle in the middle of winter buck naked?  I think not!"
