    deer roping

    Deer Roping

    I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since they congregated at my cattle feeder and did not seem to have much fear of me (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not four feet away) that it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it to a holding pen.

    I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, who had seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes my deer showed up - 3 of them. I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation. I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope and received an education.

    The first thing that I learned is that while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope. That deer EXPLODED.

    The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope with some dignity. A deer, no chance!!

    That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I originally imagined. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many animals. A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head.

    At that point I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope. I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die, slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual. Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I didn't want the deer to have it suffer a slow death. I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I had set beforehand. Kind of like a squeeze chute. I got it to back in there and started moving up so I could get my rope back.

    Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head - almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.

    The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was ineffective. It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now) tricked it.

    While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.

    That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day. Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp. I learned a long time ago that when an animal like a horse strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape. This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.

    The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and three times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down. Now when a deer paws at you and knocks you down it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.

    I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away.

    Now for the local legend. I was pretty beat up. My scalp was split open, I had several large goose eggs, my wrist was bleeding pretty good and felt broken (it turned out to be just badly bruised) and my back was bleeding in a few places, though my insulated canvas jacket had protected me from most of the worst of it. I drove to the nearest place, which was the co-op . I got out of the truck, covered in blood and dust and looking like hell. The guy who ran the place saw me through the window and came running out yelling "what happened"

    I have never seen any law in the state of Kansas that would prohibit an individual from roping a deer. I suspect that this is an area that they have overlooked entirely. Knowing, as I do, the lengths to which law enforcement personnel will go to exercise their power, I was concerned that they may find a way to twist the existing laws to paint my actions as criminal. I swear...not wanting to admit that I had done something monumentally stupid played no part in my response. I told him "I was attacked by a deer." I did not mention that at the time I had a rope on it. The evidence was all over my body. Deer prints on the back of my jacket where it had stomped all over me and a large deer print on my face where it had struck me there. I asked him to call somebody to come get me. I didn't think I could make it home on my own. He did. Later that afternoon, a game warden showed up at my house and wanted to know about the deer attack. Surprisingly, deer attacks are a rare thing and wildlife and parks was interested in the event. I tried to describe the attack as completely and accurately as I could. I was filling the grain hopper and this deer came out of nowhere and just started kicking the heck out of me and BIT me. It was obviously rabid or insane or something.

    EVERYBODY for miles around soon knew about the deer attack (the guy at the co-op has a big mouth). For several weeks people dragged their kids in the house when they saw deer around and the local ranchers carried rifles when they filled their feeders. I have told several people the story, but NEVER anybody around here. I have to see these people every day and as an outsider - a "city folk". I have enough trouble fitting in without them snickering behind my back and whispering "there is the dumb ass that tried to rope the deer.

    The Devil's Lawsuit

    There was a contruction worker who was working on a building when he fell 15 stories to his bloody death.

    He arrived at the pearly gates and St. Peter said "Oh, I am sorry, my son. But you have been sentenced to hell."

    The worker agreed - not like he could do anything else - and he was on his way.

    When he arrived, the devil looked at him and said, "Ah! A new slave. We shall burn you and throw you in the fiery pits."

    Then the worker replied, "That wall could use a bit of patching. I could fix it first and you could throw me in the pit afterward." So he fixed the wall.

    Satan, intrigued, asked, "What else can you build?"

    So the construction worker went about his job and made many improvements; in fact, by the time he was done, hell was a paradise. It had air conditioning, pools, balconies, you name it.

    Within a few days, God phoned Satan and said, "I think there has been a mix-up. That worker was originally supposed to come to heaven."

    Satan replied, "No way -- he's built all sorts of useful stuff for us. We're keeping him."

    God then said, "Oh, yeah? Well, I'll see you in court. We're going to sue you for this man's soul and damages."

    Satan just laughed: "And where are you going to find a lawyer?"

    Blond Joke

    A Blonde Goes On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
    Regis: "Barbara, you've done very well so far - $500,000 and one lifeline left -- phone a friend.

    The next question will give you the top prize of One Million dollars if you get it right ... but if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 -- are you ready?"

    Barbara: "Sure, I'll have a go!"

    Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build it's own nest?

    Is it........

    A-Robin

    B-Sparrow

    C-Cuckoo

    D-Thrush

    Remember Barbara its worth 1 Million dollars."

    "I think I know who it..but I'm not 100%...

    No, I haven't got a clue. I'd like to phone a friend Regis, just to be sure.

    Regis: "Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?

    Barbara: "I'll phone my friend Maggie back home in Birmingham."

    (ringing)

    Maggie (also a blonde): "Hello..."

    Regis: "Hello Maggie, its Regis here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire-I have Barbara here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to be a Million.

    The next voice you hear will be Barbara's and she'll read you the question.

    There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer -- fire away Barbara."

    Barbara: "Maggie, which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it:

    A-Robin

    B-Sparrow

    C-Cuckoo

    D-Thrush"

    Maggie: "Oh Gees, Barbara that's simple.....It's a Cuckoo."

    Barbara: "You think?"

    Maggie: "I'm sure."

    Barbara: " Thanks Maggie." (hangs up)

    Regis: "Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the Million, Barbara?"

    Barbara: "I want to play, I'll go with C-Cuckoo"

    Regis: "Is that your final answer?"

    Barbara: "It is."

    Regis: "Are you confident?"

    Barbara: "Yes fairly, Maggie's a sound bet."

    Regis: "Barbara.....you had $500,000 and you said C-Cuckoo ...you're right! - You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

    Here is your check. You have been a great contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara."

    (clapping)

    That night Barbara calls round to Maggie and brings her down to a local bar for a celebration drink and, as they are sipping their Champagne, Barbara turns to Maggie and asks "Tell me Maggie, How in God's name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?

    Maggie: "Listen Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock." :rolleyes:

    Students at a Pocono school were assigned to read 1 of 2 books, either 'Titanic' or 'My Life' by Bill Clinton.?


    One student turned in the following book report, he said that they were nearly identical stories!?

    His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report.?

    Clinton :.... cost - $29.99?

    Titanic:..... Over 3 hours to read?
    Clinton :.... Over 3 hours to read?

    Titanic:....! . The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.?
    Clinton :.... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.?

    Titanic:.... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.?
    Clinton :... Ditto for Bill.?

    golf masters

    Moses, Jesus and an old man are golfing.
    Moses steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in the water trap. Moses parts the water and chips the ball onto the green.
    Jesus steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in the water trap. Jesus just walks on the water and chips the ball onto the green.
    The old man steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and heads for the water trap. But, just before it falls into the water, a fish jumps up and grabs the ball in its mouth.As the fish is falling back down into the water, an eagle swoops down and grabs the fish in its claws. The eagle flies over the green where a lightning bolt shoots from the sky and barely misses it. Startled, the eagle drops the fish. When the fish hits the ground, the ball pops out of its mouth and rolls into the hole for a hole-in-one.
    Jesus then turns to the old man and say, Nice shot Dad

    Check Your Driver ' s License...

    I definitely removed mine. I suggest you all do the same. Now you can see anyone ' s Driver ' s License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was... picture and all!

    Thanks Homeland Security! Go to the web site below, and check it out. It ' s unbelievable!!! Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file.

    After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked ' Please Remove ' . This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement. Please notify all your friends so they can protect themselves, too.

    Believe me they will thank you for it.
    copy and paste the link below...

    A Greek & a Scotsman

    A Greek and a Scotsman were sitting in a Starbuck's cafe one day discussing who had the superior culture. Over triple lattes the Greek guy says, "Well, we Greeks built the Parthenon", arching his eyebrows. The Scotsman then replies, "Well... it was the Scots that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices." The Greek retorts, "We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics." The Scotsman, nodding in agreement, says, "Scots were the ones who built the first timepieces and calendars." And so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, "The Greeks were the ones who invented sex!" The Scotsman replies, "Indeed, that is true, but it was we Scots who introduced it to women."

    Remember John Hinckley?

    You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged
    young man who shot President Reagan in the early 1980s.
    Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie
    Foster, extremely jealous, and in his twisted mind, loved
    Jodie Foster to the point that to make himself well known to
    her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan. There is
    speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been
    rehabilitated. Consequently, you may appreciate the
    following letter from John McCain that the staff at the
    mental facility, treating Hinckley , reports to have
    intercepted this past weekend:*

    To: John Hinckley

    From: John McCain

    My wife and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you
    how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in
    your recovery. In our fine country's spirit of understanding
    and forgiveness, we want you to know there is a non partisan
    consensus of compassion and forgiveness throughout.

    My wife Cindy and I want you to know that no grudge is borne
    against you for shooting President Reagan. We, above all, are
    aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you
    to such an act of desperation. We are confident that you will
    soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to
    join the world again as a healthy and productive young man.

    Best Wishes,

    John and Cindy McCain

    *P.S.: While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been
    banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. Just thought
    you should know.* :eek:

    These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things
    people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published
    by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these
    exchanges were actually taking place.

    ________ ____________________________________

    ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he
    doesn't know about it until the next morning?
    WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
    ____________________________________

    ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
    WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.
    ___________________________________________

    ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?

    ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
    WITNESS: Getting laid

    ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
    WITNESS: By death.
    ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?

    ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?

    ______________________________________

    ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead
    people?
    WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
    _________________________________________

    ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK?
    What school did you go to?
    WITNESS: Oral.
    _________________________________________

    ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
    WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
    ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
    WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
    ____________________________________________

    ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
    WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?

    And the best for last:

    pulse?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began
    the autopsy?
    WITNESS: No .
    ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
    WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
    ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
    WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing
    law
