    I had an aunt, who was a third cousin, twice removed from my grand father, when he was in the Army in WWI, and he had a dog, named Spike, that caught a mouse that had rabies, and my 4th cousin from Idaho who had an uncle named Charlie, drove 200 miles to work one way each day, got stuck in a ditch and the cops pulled him out with his bare teeth, then wrote him up a ticket, because HIS dog Manny was a female impersonator...

    and this is all facts..............

    or maybe, I just woke up, and am still dreaming of "doing it" with Taylor Swift....

    When I was a kid, I had an older driver tell me of a friend with a black Pete, that blew his horn at a moose, and the moose demolished the truck. 20 years later, I had a kid tell me of a friend of his with a black Pete that blew his horn at a moose, and the moose demolished the truck.

    Fascinating! It can't be the same driver, can it? What are the odds?

    Well, being a scientist, I took the Mythbusters approach. Came up on a moose standing in the road in Eastern Alberta. I honked the horn. The moose ran off the road and back into the woods. Now I am puzzled. These 2 stories about the guy with the black Pete demolished by a moose, cannot be the same truck, because there's no way a twenty something driver could recall something that happened two decades ago. But my scientific findings point to either the color of the truck or a hatred of Peterbilts by wildlife.

    I did everything right. I saw a moose standing in the road. I slowed to a crawl and honked my air horn. The moose ran away. I guess the only way I can find an answer is to borrow a black Pete, and find a moose in the road and honk the air horn at it.

    Your undoing of your Mythbuster experiment is not the Black Pete but maybe you didn't have the same Moose.

    Somewhere out in there Woods is a Black Peterbilt Hatin Moose.

    See, that's the thing too. It cannot be the same moose. If there was a black Peterbilt Hating Moose, it would be easily found because the moose isn't on the woods, it's on asphalt waiting for the next challenge. Any moose that brazen would have wound up on the dinner table after the destruction of the first truck since it's being on asphalt would leave it vulnerable to poachers. Unless...there's a genetically altered trained truck killing machine laying in wait. A super moose. A four legged Bigfoot type monster....

    But there's no scientific proof.

    Another thing you have not taken into account is all the men who have lost their black Peterbilts to the savage Moose but are afraid to talk about it and blame their wrecked truck on going in the ditch.

    Put your truck in a ditch, you're at fault. You get a citation. You don't if you tell the tales of the demonic moose.
