The Bamboozlin' Hornswoggler's Roadkill Etiquette 101
Lesson #8
(Removal)

If you hit wildlife with your vehicle, you will need to decide what you're going to do. Now, assuming it was unintentional, you could show courtesy to other drivers by moving the roadkill. However, it would defeat the purpose to let others see you while doing this. Therefore, you will have to use sophisticated techniques to accomplish this. There are many effective methods. Amateurs usually prefer the "up under the shirt" maneuver, in which the person will casually approach the roadkill, and quickly slide it under their shirt as they turn to walk away. Once you are more confident, you may attempt the "steel-toed punt" approach. This is where the person will take a running start, and punt the roadkill to the side. As I mentioned before, there are many effective methods. One rule that you must remember, is that whenever you move roadkill, it must end up further away from the road than road signs. The reason for this is to prevent unnecessary distraction and possible injury to what are known as "sport-roadkillers". Next week, we will learn more about "sport-roadkillers" and "vehicular wildlife predators".


Park on the side of the road carefully.
