"Animals Can't Talk" [Op-ed]

[Mr. Matté]

"Signs that read "Deer Crossing"  and the like are going to continue to pop up throughout our country including Avon Lake, but who are these signs for? Deer cannot read, do not obey the law and probably will cross where they wish. Although adorable companions, it is hard to remember the last time that the news reported an animal talking, thinking or providing significant input for the benefit of society. Yet, these signs cost taxpayers like so much of government."

They're coming to take away your deer crossing signs!

Garrison Keillor, your job is safe.  that op-ed parody is a really shit attempt at folksy humor.

I'm just happy that someone mentioned Garrison Keillor.  Thank you, agent.

His weekly radio show is quite entertaining, especially when he talks about "the past week at Lake Wobegon."

When I did I-80 across Nebraska the guy that was driving had us listening to nothing but Garrison Keillor and classical. That's a special kind of hell.

"It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town..."

My dad used to enjoy the show, but my (now ex-) Brother-in-Law thought it was moronic.

They stole the joke from the YouTube video of the lady who called into a radio station angry that the government was directing deer to cross busy highways by placing deer crossings on them.

Yeah.  Got that.

Obviously the op-ed writer never lived in Alanland.
