    Another Tom Lehrer fan!!!! Hooray! OF course, my personal favorites were the Vatican Rag and MLF (and not to forget, "National Brotherhood Week... where Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek!") You do have some socially redeeming qualities, Charles ;-)

    This type of stuff inspired Tom Lehrer to write the following song:

    The Hunting Song
    Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the
    newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression
    that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, maybe a large flesh-colored
    squirrel. At any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new
    trend in the field of blood sports, and deserves a new type of hunting song
    which I present herewith.
    I always will remember,
    'Twas a year ago November,
    I went out to hunt some deer
    On a morning bright and clear.
    I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow:
    Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

    I was in no mood to trifle,
    I took down my trusty rifle
    And went out to stalk my prey.
    What a haul I made that day!
    I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow:
    Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

    The law was very firm, it
    Took away my permit,
    The worst punishment I ever endured.
    It turned out there was a reason,
    Cows were out of season,
    And one of the hunters wasn't insured.

    People ask me how I do it,
    And I say "There's nothin' to it,
    You just stand there lookin' cute,
    And when something moves, you shoot!"
    And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now:
    Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow.
    I wish there was a way to send the lively tune that goes with it through
    email.  Charles----- Original Message -----

    It just boggles my mind how a hunter can mistakingly
    shoot any type a livestock.  I'm all for hunting, as I
    tried it a bit before I got into hores.  I use to work
    for the Michigan DNR and heard all sorts of great
    stories.  Most happen during the 15 day gun season,
    which if I'm not mistaken opens tomorrow the
    15th....it's a State Holiday.  This is when most of
    the idiots come out to play and mistake a huge COW for
    a couple hundred pound deer.  I don't remember hearing
    any incidents about shooting horses, luckily...just
    cows.  Bow season is a different case.  Shorter range
    so you actually see your target and must make a more
    calculated shot.  But, alas, now I have endurance
    horses and I'm too busy training and conditioning to
    even think about freezing my buns off sitting up in a
    tree.  Besides, these little brown dog sized things
    they call deer here in North Carolina would not
    provide much meat anyway;)
