His Bum
Back in the 80's I was drving my truck (Big Kenworth with a split windshield) down I-80 in PA when the passenger side windshield shattered.
There was a flatbed semi out ahead of me and I got on the CB and started yelling at him for shit flying off his truck and busting my windshield.
He told me there was NOTHING on the trailer.
I turned on the interior light and there was a freaking owl lying on the passenger floorboard.
The guy and I pulled over, I put some gloves on and took the owl and set it down on the ground next to my truck. I thought it was dead. As we were talking, about 10 minutes later, the owl just got up and flew off into the woods. Damned tough bird.
And I proceeded to damned near freeze to death getting to the next truckstop so I could shutdown for the night and get a new windshield in the morning.

Friend of mine hit a duck doing over 500 Kts on a low level in a F-16. Came through the canopy and hit him in the right shoulder...busted several bones, making his right arm useless. Since you fly the airplane with a side stick (it's on the right side), he couldn't control it. Had to "punch out" at that speed...messed him up pretty bad. Took over a year to get back on flying status. Very lucky he's not dead!

Wonder if I can get a tax right off, seems fair: I shoot ducks to save your pilots and your 10 million dollar jets.

That is a lot of cash, since I'm paying for these with my tax money and duck killing can I get a ride in one for free?
