Just making a play on words.

However, that woman didn't sound very old to me.

Addle-brained, yes.

A good fix would be instead of signs. After the Crossing Guards are done with school children. We could then post them at the old Deer Crossings and either have them stop traffic or redirect the Deer to a much better Crossing location.

WoW just WoW.

We could install Deer Lanes for DEER ONLY. Or put the signs in the city with the regular crosswalks.

We'll have to train them to push the button and determine green is GO!

I think it's so satirical and dry that it comes of not funny when maybe it's supposed to be funny -either that or she is "wickid retahhdid "

in the second video on snopes she says it never occurred to her that the signs were for us and not the deer.

A lot of deer get hit by cars west of Crown Point on U.S. 231. There are too many cars to have the deer crossing here. The deer crossing sign needs to be moved to a road with less traffic.

Thanks for posting it, I again laughed so hard I had tears coming down my face. Maybe the tears were for the fact that there are so many people like this, maybe not about the deer crossing signs but about many important things. And yes, they all seem to be rethuglicans.
