You are correct, there is a whole series of photos with the deer/durango incident. I've also got photos of a moose through a windshield, birds of various types into vehicles, etc. (I collect 'em. My vocation is as a safety manager, so I'm always looking for interesting illustrations).

While going through Wyoming, my concern is with deer and antelope. I've had them runn along side both the bike and the car, like they are racing me. Man are they fast....

Alternative text might be:

"Oh, so that's where the power window switch is...."

or

"Ah, yeah, okay - so I CAN'T use my hooves to remove the EZ Pass device from the windshield...."

or

"Hey, it was funny when the drive-in waitress tossed the big ribs onto Fred Flintstone's car..."

or

"Hey Joe! I told you that big hood ornament of yours wouldn't stay bolted down...."
