Radio Caller Wants to Move Deer Crossing Signs So the Deer Will Cross Elsewhere

The idea that some people actually think deer cross at designated deer crossing signs is bizarre, but believable when you realize how many stupid people inhabit this world. About a year ago there was a letter to the editor suggesting deer crossing signs be moved to less trafficked areas.

A lot of deer get hit by cars west of Crown Point on U.S. 231. There are too many cars to have the deer crossing here. The deer crossing sign needs to be moved to a road with less traffic.

There are plenty of pictures of newspaper clippings with similar suggestions. Now, we have our first radio show caller who has the brilliant idea to relocate the deer crossings. How many of these are real people asking dumb questions? We may never know for sure, but the odds that these idiots are out there are as good as seeing a deer near a deer crossing sign.
