To all those who question the usefulness of self-defense courses, I give you this alarming headline, from a report on sueddeutsche.de:
Joggerin nimmt Reh in den Schwitzkasten
To all those who question the usefulness of German classes: See above.
Okay, okay. Because I'm in a generous mood, here is that headline as rendered in English via Google Translate:
jogger taking deer in a headlock
All right, I can see you're still a bit puzzled. So here's the gist of the story from the English language German news site thelocal.de:
A jogger fought off a crazed, attacking deer by putting it in a headlock and scaring it off.
The 44-year-old woman was jogging in the Echinger Lohe nature reserve in Bavaria, when the deer suddenly attacked her from behind … .
Although she suffered minor injuries to her hands and thighs, she was still able to put the deer in a sweaty headlock, scaring it and forcing it to flee.
As a runner, should you be frightened? I say yes. For a nice tutorial on headlocks, click here; to get to know your enemy, I suggest this.
Meantime, rest assured that German officials are on top of this threat. The final line from Google Translate's version of the original article:
The competent shooting tenant was informed as a precaution.
Good to know.

Good thing it wasn’t a moose. I hear moose bites are most nasty.

I hear moose bites are most nasty. Oh, I know it. My poor sister can testify to that. She got bitten while feeding a moose some cheese (Moose love cheese, y'know). The bite was hugh and series. Anyway, I'll be back. Gotta go take a shower. Let me know if anything else interesting happens.

Perhaps this calls for an MP3 of that classic 911 call where the guy hit a deer, thought it was dead, loaded it into his backseat to take home and butcher but the deer revived in the back seat and bit the driver on the neck.

Talk about headlocks, my Mother’s name was Nelson. That made me a half-Nelson.

We in Texas have a different way of dealing with animals, of all types.

No, the headline is “Runner puts deer in the sweat box”.
