I visited a state park frequently.

Every time I went back there were more signs added: ‘DO NOT FEED DEER.’ Eventually there was a sign every 100 yds which certainly didn’t add to the natural beauty of the place.

The next time I visited the place, what do I see? Multiple carloads of Yankees pulled over and hand-feeding the deer.

I gave a nice long blast on the car horn and the deer forgot about the buffet line rather quickly.
