My wife drives the last of the RWD Caddy's, the behemoth otherwise known as Fleetwood Brougham. Those designers obviously liked big bumpers...

Anyways a bunch of birds, probably sparrows, flew in front of her today on her commute to work. She heard a thunk and was hoping she just nicked one.

Nah!

25 miles later, most at highway speeds, plus stops, starts and turns this bird was still on the front bumper when she got to the office!

A nuisance yes, but I give it kudos for its impressive death grip! :1st:

Seriously, she said what George Costanza said when he ran over some pigeons; thinking they knew the agreement was for them to 'avoid' his car...

"I thought we had a deal!"

I told her since she worked for the county and it was now a health hazard on county property, perhaps they wouldn't mind disposing of the formerly flying fowl.

So a fellow from buildings and grounds was nice enough to remove the remains.

Next up...car wash!
