    I got on for you, I was running a convoy mission from Mosul Iraq to a place called Q-west, when I got this radio call look out for the insurgent donkey, I was what the, and then the truck in front me swerved to the right and sure enough there was a white donkey walking right down the center of the road with his head down just like you would see EEOR walk in the whinnie the pooh cartoons. It was the craziest thing because the blasted critter would not even move. trucks swerving and horns honking and all that darned donkey would do is walk in the oppisite direction.:biggrin_2552:

    Reminds me of the time when Hubby and I were coming back from Columbus, Ohio.

    Came up US12 to the JUNCTION of M50 and there was a crowd of people surrounding a MULE that would not cross the intersection there.

    They were pulling on his halter and pushing him from behind as he kicked hard.

    They finally got him across but it was an effort...lol

    Reminds me of a heifer that calved one time, and steadfastly refused to cross over into a stall, after 20 minutes of coaxing, I slipped a collar on her and dragged her across with a come-along, I had to do that for about a week and then I could just pull on the collar and have her follow.

    You can probably guess that what I named her.

    Well Mosul is still here and Q west just gets bigger and the donkey is still in the middle of the road like the dogs and the kids. So you still have to watch for all of them they will load any of them with explosives to blow you up. I know i was blown up by a dead dog.
