A long time ago, (before seat belts) we were talking around the dinner table about the incident of my neighbor hitting a cow with his car. Apparently he didn't hit it too hard since the discussion was about the damage to the car and not the neighbor. My father, farmer and mechanic that he was, allowed there it was worse to hit a pig because it would go under the car and cause more damage. My brother suggested that it would be worse still to hit a whale...
I still harbor hope to discover in the nether reaches of my addled brain an imagination so fertile.
