Bob gives deer hunting advice

Need a good laugh? Of course. We all do. The election is over, the Razorback basketball team has the potential to suck as bad as the football team did/does, and only God knows what kind of money Congress and Hank Paulson are about to hand over to folks who have mismanaged large segments of our national economy for decades.

Bob Lancaster to the rescue. Lancaster is a columnist with the Arkansas Times and, although he is on the far left side of the political center, is THE funniest newspaper columnist in Arkansas.

The funny man has a new column offering advice to deer hunters. Such advice includes:

“If you’re not sure whether it’s a deer or a mailbox, hold your fire momentarily, and if a postal truck arrives and a uniformed human-looking creature inside it inserts letters and-or packages into the “mouth” of the “deer,” then it’s probably a mail box and not a deer disguised as one, and by your restraint in not shooting it you will have avoided committing a federal crime.”

“If it has people on its deck as it proceeds along a watercourse, and one of them is playing a banjo and singing “Waiting for the Robert E. Lee,” then it’s more likely a boat, perhaps a paddle-wheeler, than a deer in need of harvesting.”
