Joe ---1
Deer - 1


Summary: Early 2001, the deer struck first, breaking out Joe's rear right window and severly damaging his passenger door and right rear quarter panel before running away into a field off of KL Avenue. The deers attack was a successful one, but the resonating damage was minimal, costing Joe only his $50 deductible. He did, however, have to drive his car with, not a rear window, but a trash bag held in place by duct tape. Then of course came "the Boat," a large white Buick Roadmaster that had to be driven while his car was in the shop. The Cavalier was in said shop for much longer after the promised time of release, and when it was returned, still had glass pieces lingering between the back seat and the trunk. The deer had won this round, but for Joe Parcell and his trusty Chevy Cavalier, there would be another day.

Early 2002 (tonight as it may be) Joe Parcell would get his revenge. While driving to a friends house on 11th Avenue, the deer would attempt to strike again. Joe spotted the animal charging forth out of the corner of his eye before it took it's last hop in front of the Cavalier, which was moving at a speed of about 35 mph at the time of impact. This deer, however, would not get up and run away. This deer proved to be a kamikaze as it bounced off the front of the car, and slid some 15 feet down the road. Joe got out to survey the damage. The deer was down in the middle of the road, motionless. The front of Joe's car had fur sticking out from a dented in headlight, and apart from this dented in headlight and a slight dent in the hood of the car, Joe escaped unscathed. If this revenge wasn't sweet enough for Joe, it certainly was when the deer was put out of it's misery by another truck that thoughtlessly plowed over it at what had to have been 40 mph, blowing fur and blood all over the road. As Joe dragged the lifeless carcass to the side of the road and left it, broken, battered, and bloody in a snowy ditch, he knew the score had been settled. He finally had his vengeance.
