In Texas I’ve seen people stop traffic to kick a turtle off the road.
Then get back in their truck, a mile latter and cross three lanes of traffic just to run over a snake.
With its dying breath, the snake asked the truck driver, “Why did you run me over?” The driver replied, “You knew I was a Texan before you decided to cross!”
If ou want to take out a rattler by car you need to hit the brakes when going over them. Just rolling over will not kill them
LOL thanks for the chuckles.
Granted road rage has always been part of driving on Texas highways. Texans are sensitive and it doesn’t take much to provoke us. At every entry point into Texas there is a sign to remind people to “Drive Friendly...”. And we do until something or someone pi$$es us off.
When turtles remind us of Sen. McConnell and snakes remind us of Washington D.C. lawyers and politicians, it presents an opportunity to express our pent up hostilities while driving the “beast” back and forth to work or play.
All to say, a lot of Texans would like the opportunity to kick McConnell’s a$$ and many would go out of their way to run over some lawyers and politicians even if they have to make a Mexican lane change or two. Check the scene for skid marks. Missing skid marks indicate that road rage was the most likely culprit.
BTW, if you’re moving to rural Texas, ditch those out-of-state tags and Pro-Hillary stickers as soon as you get here. If you’re moving to one of our larger metropolitan areas, that may not be necessary at all. But to play safe, get a pair of cowboy boots and a pickup truck if you want to blend in and keep up appearances.
And if your down from Oklahoma, please do not feed or handle the snakes sunning themselves on our highways. Just run over them like the natives.
It would also help if you can distinguish a pile of horsesh*t from a turtle in the middle of the road. At speeds above 80 mph, granted they all look the same.
