    Strange
In summary, the conversation revolves around a series of images showing a large dozer on top of a power pole and a picture of a deer that was hit by a dozer. The conversation includes comments on the strangeness of the situation and the potential for the dozer to be a weapon in an alien invasion. There is also discussion about the fate of the deer and the potential for the dozer to be made scoop-proof.

But OMG the deer! This close to Christmas, all I could think of was that Santa took a big wrong turn! The poor thing, but I'm sure it didn't suffer.

Considering that he was hit hard enough to land him on atop power pole, I wouldn't worry too much. :biggrin:

Too bad he didn't have the courtesy to land on the wires in such a way as to cook himself. The lineman could have had a nice dinner on the job.
