In '90 I was on the BW Parkway when traffic came to a stop (not surprising...), some yuppie had hit a deer. Well the animal was clearly in great pain and beyond help. the yuppie was fidgeting about, "Can't we do something? Can't we do something?" This other guy turned to me an said, "Hold it's head." I did so and he cut its throat with a Spyderco. The yuppie barfed all down the front of his suit.
