Yer Sunday Funny: “Donna the Deer Lady”
This happened at KOYY-FM, 93.7, in Fargo/Moorehead, ND, in either Sep or Oct 2012. It happened on their “Morning Playhouse” show.
The incident was reported by numerous news outlets (Fox, Huffington, Daily Caller, and others). The caller later followed-up with the station, taking ownership of the original call and acknowledging that she’d been in error.
So, there you go. Yes, we can easily greatly reduce or eliminate deer strikes by autos. All we have to do is move the deer crossings to safer locations. (smile)
Category: "Teh Stoopid", WTF?
Been in error? Putting it mildly.
Everyone knows how stupid the average person is, so realize by definition, half are stupider than that.
As funny as that is, it still doesn’t be the phone message left by a Vice President of a proud woman owned third party software vendor.
I friend I deployed once with moved to northern Minnesota to work about three years ago. My friend is a very good man, but he is huge and he is very much the prototypical hillbilly. So, anyway, he drills in Minneapolis, and it takes him several hours to drive to drill. One morning he is driving to drill when he hits a deer, breaking its legs, and the deer is flopping in pain in a ditch. My friend is a hunter and he knows that he has to put the deer out of its misery so he searches his truck for something to kill it with and finds a machete. He manages to kill the deer, but now he is covered in blood and he still has to go to drill, so he drives on looking for a place to clean up eventually finding a convenience store. Anyway, he goes in, wearing camouflage and covered in blood, and the woman behind the counter gives him a hard stare. My friend doesn’t miss a beat, “hey, I told her to shut up,” he said.
When he came out of the bathroom he explained what happened to the clerk.
I can do one better with your story.

The left out the part where the cop planted a throwaway gun on the deer.

Kinda like city folk who move to the country, then complain about the farmers running noisy equipment early in the mornings and the animal smells coming from the pastures.
Jesus H. Christ… There are no words. I’m reminded of a personal experience. My crew had to attend a meeting of the local FireSafe Council this one time. While most of them were rational, intelligent people, this one lady stood out. She asked about a “big fire” she had seen nearby the day before (in fucking FEBRUARY). We were rather puzzled, as there hadn’t been any fires, just a single prescribed burn. Turns out that was what she saw, and she proceeded to castigate me for “not letting people know,” since she had been “scared.” I advised her that the prescribed burn had been continually announced for weeks in advance, with ads in all local publications, announcements on all local TV and radio stations, a bulletin on the department’s fucking Twitter feed (I can’t believe we actually have one of those), and dozens of signs including some giant Goddamn billboards on all surrounding roads. Obviously I withheld the profanity, but I really, really wanted to let it out! She again castigated me for “not letting people know.” I took a deep breath, forced myself to remain calm, and repeated that the prescribed burn had been continually announced for weeks in advance, with ads in all local publications, announcements on all local TV and radio stations, a bulletin on the department’s fucking Twitter feed (Jesus, we actually HAVE one of those!), and dozens of signs including some giant Goddamn billboards on all surrounding roads. Again, I withheld the profanity. She looks at me and, with a perfectly straight face, declares that, “Next time you need to make the smoke a different color so people will know!” We are all taken aback at that one. The rest of the FireSafe Council members are visibly embarrassed by this idiot. I collect my thoughts for a second and tell her, “Yes, ma’am. When modern science comes up with a way for us to do that, we will DEFINITELY implement that solution!” Every time I encounter somebody who’s painfully stupid, I just remind myself how boring my job would be if it wasn’t for the… Read more »
If it wasn’t for the idiots, you wouldn’t have as many fires either.
Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but there is a company that supplies ‘real’ scripts and voice actors to local call in shows for this exact bit of entertainment. A syndicated radio show outed this activity 4 or 5 years ago. As proof, they played audio from different radio stations of the same ‘bit’ and it was interesting how the dialogue was nearly word for word among the caller and the DJ’s, even though they were in different locations and at different times. Sometimes stupid ain’t real. By the way, long time reader and first time commenter. I am non-military but Dad is a Korean War Marine (the non-sniper, non-embellisher variety). Love the site and respect and thank you all for your service.
