THE OCTOPUS WAS UNHURT ....

I was intrigued by an article out of San Antonio, Texas, about a wreck involving a truckload of exotic animals, birds and fish being transported to Texas from Indianapolis.

Now before PETA jumps on my case, I'll hasten to say that I am very sorry that some penguins and fish were killed by passing motorists but I couldn't help but think what I would do if I were driving down the highway and saw a truckload of snakes, alligators, penguins and octopi in the road.

I really believe I would hit the ditch rather than hitting them. Either I am going to be killed trying to avoid them, or the smell from a truckload of penquins would suffocate me to death, or the lone surviving octopus would be highly ticked and would choke me to death or being dumped in the middle of a pile of snakes would result in an immediate heart attack.

No matter what, I figure I'm a goner !
