I have no tolerance for people that murder birds. I hope the bear mace hurt.

Now we'll never know why it was crossing the road...

Someone once explained that "to get to the other side" actually has a double meaning, with "other side" referring to being killed by a car (in addition to the obvious meaning of the other side of the road).

Dunno if that was ever the actual intention, but it instantly became my new head canon, and I think about it every time I hear the joke now.

So it actually kind of fits here.

I don't think I would be a very impartial juror if I were on this case

Yesterday while driving, I hit two different birds in the span of about 15 minutes. I was going under the limit both times and definitely wouldn’t try to hit them. The second one looked like it was going to miss me before it turned and went straight at the windshield. Real tucker and dale moment for me.
