I punched a pheasant.

May well have happened to my colleague too - problem was that everyone he missed a meeting or arrived late he would come up with an even more elaborate set of excuses.

Either he was the most unlucky person ever with his travel plans, or he was telling porkies.

Veering OT...someone I work with is notorious for missing important meetings and coming up with unlikely excuses.

Most recent was that he hit a pheasant on route which had shattered his windscreen.

It's possible. I hurt for weeks afterwards when I was hit in the chest by a pheasant that had first been hit by a car in front of me when I was riding a motorcycle. it hurt like hell even though I was wearing several layers under a sturdy motor cycle jacket. I got to keep the bird and swapped it for a couple of pints of beer at my local. Wasn't worth the bruising though.

Taking the weight of the average pheasant as being between three and four pounds, and a vehicle (let alone a cyclist) travelling at say 50 mph and therefore, if head on, a closing speed of minimum 70 mph, it is no surprise that a windscreen was shattered.

Several years ago, I heard of an unfortunate shooter being struck on the bonce by a falling pheasant......the result sadly was the extinction of both pheasant and shooter.

Down a lane? On a Guvnor? In Rapha?

How's the drainage in the lower field?

It still needs doing sor!

Surely a gentleman dispatches the impertinent creature with his service revolver, what?

Demned unsporting What! Service revolvers are for hunting peasants not pheasants.

I punched a pheasant, but I didn't shoot the deputy.

(I punched a pheasant
But I didn't punch no Grouse, oh no! oh!
I punched a pheasant
But I didnt punch no Grouse, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! all around in my home town,
They're tryin to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the punching of a Grouse,
For the punching of a Grouse.

Darn! beaten to it.

So what, I decked a donkey.


(With a donkey punch!)

 

[tdr1nka]

Darn! beaten to it.

So sorry old chum.

Really M8, that's too spooky, what were the chances?

Dunno but that song came into my head as soon as I read the title. I started to reply but then had to go and do my homework and when I came back and finished the post, there you were.

I had noted that you'd not yet affixed a suitable contrivance for carrying your Purdeys, what.

This thread has reminded me about a friend of mine who had been a vegetarian for years. Then one day, while driving in the country she came across a dead pheasant in the road which had obviously been killed only recently.

She decided to take it home and cook it, and has been a rabid meat eater ever since.

Takes real guts to eat a rabid dog. Respect.
