DEER MEETS JETTA

(sniff, sniff)

Clarissa Gifford, Reporter

Early Sunday morning Clarissa Gifford received a phone call from her husband. He seemed to be perfectly fine. Clarissa recalls the phone conversation. "Well, he acted like he was just calling to see how my morning was going. He leaves early for meetings and sometimes he is concerned with my sanity trying to get all the kids ready for church. Then he said "It finally happened." I was pretty confused with what he meant by that. "We hit a deer!!" And then he just started laughing. I, of course, was a little worried and very sad that the car had been damaged by a doe, a deer, a female deer. I asked him why he was laughing and he just said that he thought it was pretty funny. It must have been the adrenaline talking. He filled me in with the details and informed me that he hadn't been the one driving. He had asked his dad to drive so he could eat a yogurt! It was a very foggy morning, so that made it more difficult to see in front of them very far. All of the sudden Doug looked up and said, very ironically..."Oh, DEER!!" But it was too late, the damage was done. Of course his dad feels absolutely terrible about it. But I am just grateful that neither one of them was hurt."
The car still drives fine, but you have to pull a "Dukes of Hazard" move to get in and out. The door won't open.
This is some hair and flesh left by the accused.
